Online Safety for Seniors

Описание: Online safety impacts seniors significantly with $16.6 billion lost to scams last year, a 33% increase, with those 60+ experiencing a 43% rise in losses and an average of $34,000 lost per identity theft victim. The true numbers are likely higher as many seniors don't report fraud due to embarrassment or shame.

• Use strong, unique passwords and consider password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden
• Never click links or attachments in emails, even if they appear to come from legitimate sources
• Be cautious about what you share online and avoid opening forwarded content
• Shop only on secure websites (look for HTTPS in the URL)
• Be wary of communications claiming to be from Medicare, government agencies, or financial institutions
• Keep all software and drivers updated regularly to prevent vulnerabilities
• Trust your instincts—if something feels suspicious, don't proceed without getting help

Change your passwords at least twice a year and use two-factor authentication when available to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
