To combat the growing risk of cybercrime targeting the elderly, Bengaluru police have launched a free digital literacy and cyber safety training program. This initiative aims to empower senior citizens with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely. The half-day sessions cover various topics, including safe mobile phone usage, downloading apps securely, online banking practices, and recognizing phishing scams. The program also promotes the use of helplines for reporting cybercrime issues. This effort comes in the wake of a rise in cyberattacks targeting vulnerable demographics, including senior citizens. With increased internet usage among older adults, they can become easy prey for online scams and phishing attempts.
