აბსტრაქტი. The rapid growth of Information Technology (IT) has transformed daily life; however, many senior citizens still lack the essential knowledge required to effectively safeguard their personal information online. This study investigates cybersecurity awareness among elderly individuals in Indore, India, focusing on psychological aspects, behavioral factors, and knowledge levels related to data protection. Through a structured questionnaire survey and purposive sampling, a total of 115 responses were collected and analysed quantitatively. The findings reveal that trusting anonymous calls and experiencing financial scams significantly contribute to stress and negatively impact the quality of life among older adults. Additionally, limited awareness of protective measures, such as password security, highlights significant gaps in cybersecurity knowledge. This study underscores the urgent need for targeted educational initiatives and policy interventions to promote safe digital practices and enhance resilience among India’s aging population against cyber threats.
