Older generation in UAE at risk from cyberthreats
A
report has found that older Internet users in the UAE are
increasingly under threat from cyberattacks.
According to new research by Kaspersky Lab and B2B International,
users aged 55-plus are becoming more digital dependent, prompting
family members to become increasingly worried that they are not
taking the necessary security precautions.
However, with 22% of people in the UAE not doing anything to
protect their older relatives, these concerns are not translating into
action, potentially leaving loved ones in danger as a result.
According to the research, the majority (84%) of users aged over
55 are now accessing the Internet at home several times a day and
44% are spending a minimum of 20 hours a week on the Internet.
Indeed, as of the second half of 2017 this age group owned an
average of four connected devices per household, including two
computers and two mobile devices.
Despite the many benefits offered by these levels of connectivity,
family members have concerns that their older relatives are not
taking the necessary precautions to protect themselves when
online, with 58% of people worried for the safety of their digitally
connected elders.

And, with 64% of Internet users admitting that their older relatives
have suffered an online threat – including falling victim to an online
scam (20%), encountering malware or viruses (17%) and being
spied on by malicious software (19%) – this fear is well founded.
