When we leave our jobs, we also leave the protection our employer provides us with regards to internet and Wi-Fi security. Hired people may be able to help with the newest applications, but they may not understand the security risks posed. This session will cover some basic information about cybersecurity weaknesses and some of the scams that target older, retired people. Many times, the perpetrator is someone close and someone who we think we can trust. In this course, you will learn some basic tools to protect against those who wish to perpetrate fraud.
