Modern browsers display security warnings when they detect potential threats. Seniors should pay attention to these warnings and avoid proceeding to sites flagged as dangerous.




Security warning icon


If you see a red warning about phishing or malware, close the page immediately and run a security scan on your device to ensure nothing was downloaded in the background.




SSL warning icon


Learn the difference between a standard certificate warning (expired or invalid SSL) and a phishing warning. When in doubt, do not continue to the website.




Contact support icon


For legitimate sites that display warnings, contact the organization through a trusted phone number or link to confirm there isn’t an issue before proceeding.
