Digital Exploitation and Elder Safety This Shopping Season

Join leading cybersecurity and digital safety experts for an interactive discussion on how to recognize and prevent online scams during the holiday shopping season, with a special focus on protecting older adults and their families.

As online shopping increases, so do opportunities for scammers to exploit unsuspecting consumers. We’ll explore how digital exploitation happens, why older adults are particularly vulnerable, and how families and communities can work together to recognize warning signs and prevent financial harm.

Designed for online shoppers, families, and caregivers, this virtual live session will offer practical guidance for navigating digital threats, having supportive conversations with loved ones, and taking simple steps toward a safer holiday shopping season.
