Online scammers have tried to take advantage of the MH17 disaster by setting up fake Facebook profiles of the Australian victims.

It says the advertisements can also be infected with malware and compromise the security of computers.
The Commission's Deputy Chair Delia Rickard spoke with Adeshola Ore.
