Avoiding Scams
In today’s tech-driven world, the internet enhances communication, learning, and entertainment but also exposes users to online scams. Older adults are particularly vulnerable, with those over 60 losing an estimated $3.1 billion to scams in 2022. DANEnet’s cybersecurity class focuses on protecting your personal information—identity, data, and finances—online.
iPhone or Android Phone Basics
Smartphones are often a person’s most-used and most convenient tool for accessing the internet, but do you know how to make the best use of all the features, settings, and capabilities of your device? This class will share tips for making the most of your smartphones! DANEnet offers separate classes for iPhone users and Android users to provide the best learning experience.
