Empowering older adults to navigate the digital world safely
SeniorSafeNet: Protecting Older Adults from Cyber Attack
Why it Matters
According to the FBI’s 2022 Elder Fraud Report, seniors in the U.S. lost over $3.1 billion to online scams—an 84% increase from the previous year. That’s why Optenex created SeniorSafeNet: to empower older adults with the know-how to spot phishing attempts and stay safe in a rapidly changing digital world.
