Join Javelin Strategy & Research’s Tracy Kitten and the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Eva Velasquez for an essential webinar designed for families and financial institutions about the rising threat of child identity theft and its link to social media.
Drawing on insights from Javelin's annual Child and Family Cybersecurity Study, our experts will cover:
- Children with online-gaming and social media presences are at heightened risk of exposure to scams and cyberbullying.
- How transactional scams linked to online and mobile accounts, including gaming accounts, are waged against children after a data breach, and why those children are at heightened risk for unwitting recruitment into money mule schemes.
- Why parents’ reluctance to enroll children in identity protection coverage continues to put entire families at insidious cyber risk.
Learn proactive steps to protect children and young adults and explore how financial institutions can help families mitigate increasing cyber risk.
