On Tuesday's Backchat, we're discussing cybersecurity and online fraud.
The police have warned of a surge in shopping scams, revealing that more than 180 local residents fell prey, losing a total $1.3 million, in just a week.

This has followed a recent cyberattack targeting healthcare provider OT&P, in which the medical history of 100,000 patients might have fallen into the hands of hackers.
