As internet penetration increases in Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMIC), more older people are now conducting financial transactions online and using social media to stay in touch with family and friends. We discuss concerns that existing financial regulations and controls in India may afford older people insufficient protection from cybercrime, using qualitative interviews from our recent study exploring older people's experiences of cybercrime in Mumbai.
随着中低收入国家(LMIC)互联网普及率的提高,越来越多的老年人现在正在进行在线金融交易,并使用社交媒体与家人和朋友保持联系。我们讨论了现有的印度金融法规和控制措施可能无法为老年人提供足够的网络犯罪保护的问题,这些问题来自我们最近一项研究中对孟买老年人网络犯罪经历的定性访谈。
