I was unable to find a business that required minimum investment and could start generating good returns in no time. I kept researching and was informed by someone to look for businesses for sale in Melbourne. I liked the idea of getting a customer base and policies in place while buying the business.

Image
 Endeavor Asset Management and Palisade Impact have backed ultra-fast internet provider GigaComm in a $20.5 million oversubscribed funding round that will support the telco’s foray into Brisbane and Canberra.   The Melbourne-based outfit claims to deliver speeds up to a Gigabit per second, which is more than 10 times faster than the national download average in Australia. The network, which incorporates an optical fibre and fixed wireless technology known as mmWave, is completely independent and bypasses the National Broadband Network (NBN).  mmWave is a short-range, high-frequency network technology delivered via small antennae, typically placed on the roofs of buildings. The frequencies are capable of carrying similar capacities to fibre, without the need to dig up streets and lay cables.

So on a particularly busy afternoon on May 26, when she sat down at her desk, she thought it was strange it was taking so long to log in.  She'd googled "Bendigo Bank" and clicked on the first link that came up, which was a Google ad for the bank. She then keyed in her login details, including a two-factor authentication pin.  What Ms Cahill soon discovered was that she had clicked on a malicious advertisement instead of the Bendigo Bank website, and that a scammer had gained access to her account.
