Cyber Threats Targeting Mechanics & Tradies in Melbourne
Small trade businesses are increasingly targeted because they tend to have fewer protections. If your business uses any software for invoicing, scheduling or banking, you have digital assets worth protecting. The ACCC reports that small businesses lose millions to invoice fraud, fake supplier scams and ransomware annually.
IntrusionX is your independent security layer — we specialise in protecting mechanics & tradies practices across Melbourne. No conflicts of interest, no divided loyalties.
Invoice & Payment Fraud
Scammers send fake invoices from suppliers you recognise, or intercept real invoices and change the bank details. Melbourne mechanics and tradies have reported losses of $5,000 to $50,000.
Ransomware on Job Management
ServiceM8, simPRO, Tradify and others are increasingly targeted. Encrypted job records and customer databases can destroy your business history overnight.
ATO and Supplier Scam Calls
Phone scammers posing as the ATO or suppliers threaten legal action unless you pay immediately. AI voice tools have made these more convincing.
Business Banking Fraud
Criminals compromise banking credentials or SIM swap your phone number to bypass MFA and drain business accounts.
