In a stride towards enhancing digital safety for older adults, GetSetUp, an educational community platform, has launched Cyber Safety and Fraud Hub.
According to an official release, the initiative comprises educational videos and articles, which explain how scams work and how to recognise them, along with comprehensive checklists, which include guides on banking call scams, OTP frauds, custom frauds, among others, to help users verify the authenticity of digital communications, understand how to identify red flags, and safeguard their personal information. From what it’s understood, the initiative also includes hands-on support, which is a “Cyber Security” series of classes addressing the nuances of online OTP scams, AI-driven scams, from voice cloning to deepfakes.
“I believe empowering our active agers through education and awareness is essential in empowering them and safeguarding their independence in the fight against digital scams. By fostering awareness and education, we aim to not just safeguard our community from digital scams; we also intend to enhance their digital engagement,” Ashwini Kapila, managing director of business development and partnerships, GetSetUp, said.
