Could you tell if a scam call was AI-generated?

In 2026, probably not. AI voice technology has advanced to the point where scam calls sound exactly like a real human — calm, professional, and completely convincing.

That means almost everything you've been told about spotting a phone scam is now out of date. No robotic voice. No bad accent. No obvious red flags.

The one rule that still works? Hang up. Find the official number yourself. Call back.

We've put together a free Voice Scam Awareness guide to help you and your team know what to look out for — and what to do if something feels off.

If you ever receive a suspicious call, hang up and contact us directly on (08) 6374 8200.

Across regional and remote WA, Aboriginal corporations are doing critical work: in healthcare, community development, cultural preservation and economic participation. Supporting these organisations with reliable technology is work we genuinely care about.

We've teamed up with our sister company Creations Agency to share what that looks like in practice in Business News, including our long-standing partnership with Yamatji Southern Regional Corporation Ltd (YSRC) in Geraldton. A big shout out to the team at YSRC for their participation — we love working with you!

When technology is built around the needs of the people it serves, it becomes more than IT support, it becomes a foundation for community outcomes.

Last week, our Product & Procurement Manager Brad de Lacy spent some time at the Dicker Data & HP Workplace Experience event, and it was a great reminder of how much is happening in the workplace tech space right now.
Covering the full portfolio, HP PCs, printer solutions and equipment, but the real talking point was the journey and the launch of HP's new Workforce Experience Platform. Really exciting to see where things are heading!

Did you know that 68% of cyber breaches involve human behaviour, not sophisticated hacking?

Things like checking personal email on a work device, reusing passwords, or uploading a file to a familiar cloud service because it's quicker than the approved option. None of these feel like security decisions in the moment. But each one can quietly open the door to a breach.

In our latest blog, we break down how everyday personal web habits create real business risk, and what practical steps actually reduce that risk without disrupting how your team works.

A Perth-based business was hit by ransomware, had cyber insurance, and still had their claim denied. Why? No MFA on email and untested backups.
This isn’t a scare story. It’s what cyber incidents look like in 2026.
We’ve published an article explaining why we’ve updated our Security as a Service Terms & Conditions, why the Australian Signals Directorate Essential Eight is now the baseline for WA businesses, and what cyber insurers are asking at renewal before they agree to pay a claim.
If you’re a business owner, council, or NFP, this is worth your time.
