Thanks to today’s technological advances and the relative ease of getting online, we can learn new things instantly, check the weather, re-connect with old friends, and check our bank account statements all in the comfort of our own homes. Older adults have discovered that this ‘new’ technology is able to enhance and simplify their lives. Yet may not know that a lack of awareness of the hidden dangers that lurk in - email, browsers, and the smartphone - can cost them dearly. Loss of retirement savings and worse – identity theft – can result from a lack of cyber awareness.
