Hi
Just joined and looking for advice from people with more experience with Dementia than me.
Social Engineering - (in the context of information security) the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes.
My Mother in laws Dementia has got a lot worse over the last six months and she gets a lot of calls and emails from people trying to get her to either sign up for things or give her passwords, DOB or account numbers away, sometimes she remembers she's had the calls, sometimes not.
I work in IT but it's pointless me telling her what not to do as 15 mins later she's forgotten. I'm not massively concerned with the small stuff it's the big stuff i'm more worried about, what do other people do? she has a sticker on the door but it's the phone and internet that's the risk, it's the giving away of her personal information that's leaving her at risk.
