Definitely worry about this with my mother-in-law. I cleaned the malware off her computer yesterday because she was complaining that "google was broken" and that "every time it filled the screen with advertisements."

I don't really know what to do about it, but dementia + lack of technical understanding + lack of security best practices + retirement funds are, without doubt, going to be a huge problem in the coming decades.

Dementia Money refers to this:

    seniors experiencing cognitive decline now control assets
    worth almost half of Japan's gross domestic product
