Senior Scam Losses: A 20-Year Surge in Financial Harm
Between 2005 and 2025, reported financial losses from scams targeting seniors skyrocketed from $150 million to $3.4 billion—a staggering 2,167% increase. This graph isn’t just a statistic—it’s a signal. It reflects a systemic failure to protect vulnerable populations from increasingly sophisticated fraud tactics.
The Cyber Cognition Program exists to reverse this trend. By disrupting cognitive bias, retraining response logic, and preserving dignity in every interaction. We equip seniors to recognize, resist, and report threats—without fear, shame, or technical overwhelm.

This program is needed for our seniors. It's easy to comprehend, honors seniors dignity and rewires the thinking. I love it and my 93 year old mother loves it.
LB, daughter of Senior Citizen
I endorse this program. It's wonderful perspective. I was very surprised with how easily it was to adapt the concept of "pause, process and proceed". It's a 'game changer' in debunking cyber fear.
