She is 68 years old and not very tech savvy, and is overall very ignorant to modern threats.]]> 2016-12-03 17:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/justinknueppel/jx41n4mg01wm/wish/141556856 justinknueppel https://padlet.com/justinknueppel/jx41n4mg01wm/wish/141556892 Because of my grandmother not knowing about the dangers of the internet, her identity was likely stolen from an advertisement that was not legitimate. If she saw something that said that her computer had a virus she needed to fix, she would probably give a credit card number and her social security number just to make sure her computer became "clean" again.]]> 2016-12-03 17:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/justinknueppel/jx41n4mg01wm/wish/141556892 justinknueppel https://padlet.com/justinknueppel/jx41n4mg01wm/wish/141556962 After an incident like this, and preferably before an incident like this, my grandmother needs to learn about how to spot illegitimate advertisements and websites on the internet.
