AARP Fraud Watch: Millions at risk of fraud Millions at risk as scams surge for fifth consecutive year
The Press
A new report from the AARP Fraud Watch Network underscores the growing concern of fraud among American consumers, as criminals continue to take advantage of widespread security vulnerabilities.
The study examines emerging fraud trends and outlines essential protective measures consumers can adopt in an increasingly digital landscape.
According to the report, more than 276 million adults were exposed to cyber threats by downloading unverified apps or taking online quizzes on social media from unreliable sources. Additionally, an estimated 203 million adults have not enabled multifactor authentication across all their online accounts, leaving them more susceptible to hacking and identity theft. Overall, the research stresses the importance of taking small actions to stay protected from major losses.
