This FOI release is a single National Anti-Scam Centre (NASC) ICT Project Board paper dated 3 December 2024, concerning the Proactive Scam Intelligence project, specifically Research Project 2. The paper seeks Project Board direction to share social media captured data, limited to sponsored advertisements and containing no personal information, with an external party whose name is redacted. Research Project 2 automatically collects URLs from ScamWatch, social media and other sources, tests them for malicious content, and refers suspected scams to the NASC's website takedown provider. The paper notes that a formal data sharing agreement is likely unnecessary, subject to confirmation with the Scams Codes and Advocacy team. Substantial redactions obscure the recipient's identity and the nature of the collaboration. The release contains no enforcement outcomes, penalties or detailed timelines.
