Overview

Observational analysis highlights cyber vulnerabilities linked to digital habits in older victims, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • 18.4% of older victims shared personal information like email or mobile numbers, increasing fraud risk.
  • Around 51% engaged in online activities that made them vulnerable to cyber fraud before the incident.
  • This research employed purposive sampling with interviews conducted at two police stations in Jharkhand, India.
  • These findings underscore the need for a broader understanding of online habits among older individuals, as the sample was limited.
