Cyber Threats Targeting Real Estate in Melbourne
Real estate agencies collect extensive personal data — identity documents, financial capacity information, rental history and home addresses — while also facilitating property transactions worth hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. This combination makes real estate agencies a prime target for both data theft and payment fraud across Melbourne.
IntrusionX is your independent security layer — we specialise in protecting real estate practices across Melbourne. No conflicts of interest, no divided loyalties.
Settlement Payment Interception
Attackers monitor communications and intercept payment instructions. Buyers transfer deposits to criminal accounts believing they are paying a legitimate agent trust account.
Tenant & Landlord Data Breach
Identity documents, bank statements and financial records are extremely valuable to identity thieves. A breach triggers Privacy Act obligations.
Property Management Ransomware
PropertyMe, REST Professional and Palace are targets. Encrypted rent rolls and tenant records create serious business disruption.
Rental Listing Fraud
Scammers clone your legitimate rental listings and collect bonds from renters. Your agency brand is impersonated without your knowledge.

Failure to meet these obligations can result in significant penalties, disciplinary action and reputational damage.
