Security risks due to lack of education and awareness --- I would want to totally agree with Guillame here. These risks are very real, particularly for the older generation who are not technologically savvy bearing in mind some may be genuinely unwilling or unable to educate themselves at that age. As highlighted above, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the use of the internet for important services, which were not or no longer available in-person. How do we minimise the security risks and protect our older population in this regard from unintentionally sharing personal/sensitive information that may result in the perpetrator having access to their financial information, home address etc?
