Following a visit to Thorpe Bay u3a in 2017 by the Chief Constable, a joint seminar was put together by Barry Linton of Thorpe Bay u3a and Essex Police and has continued to be presented to u3as around the County.
This online Zoom talk will present key elements of online security and also discuss some of the very latest threats that are particularly aimed at the u3a generation. There will be a Q&A session afterwards.
You do not use a Laptop, Tablet or Smartphone? You are still at risk as will be demonstrated to you.
