The digital landscape is changing rapidly. Did you know that older adults are now targeted not only by sophisticated global syndicates but also by those within their own circles? This course provides a comprehensive look at how Artificial Intelligence has transformed traditional fraud into highly personalized threats.
Key Topics Include:
The AI Toolkit: Understand the mechanics behind deepfake voice cloning, where scammers mimic the voices of loved ones, and AI-driven phishing that looks indistinguishable from official bank communications.
New Frontiers: Learn about "quishing" (QR code phishing) and brushing scams that compromise your data.
The "Trusted" Threat: We will tackle with sensitivity the shocking reality of elder financial exploitation involving family, friends, or caretakers.
Proactive Defense: Beyond just identifying scams, participants will share prevention strategies and develop a "personal threat model"—a customized plan to secure their digital footprint.
Through short weekly readings, interactive lectures, and group discussions, you will gain the tools and confidence to protect your hard-earned assets and maintain your independence.
