Retirees are now living their lives and doing business online, relying on all sorts of products and tools to manage their finances, keep in touch with loved ones, and keep their homes warm and secure. However, this also means that there are now more opportunities than ever before for cybercriminals to take advantage of you, steal your identity, and take your money.

Many businesses have teams to help protect their employees, but few have anything similar at home, where the effects of a successful cyberattack can be devastating. To make matters worse, many people are unaware of what’s going on until it’s too late. This is why Wayne Robinson, one of our advisors at Barber Financial, recently got a certificate in cybersecurity. He’s teaching our clients through classes and webinars how to stay safe online and make the most of their personal technology.

Today, Wayne joins the podcast to talk about the many different ways retirees can fall victim to cyberattacks, why the criminals responsible for them are all but impossible to catch, and the simple steps you can take right now to reduce your risk factors by as much as 85%.
