AI, online gaming among the top cyber threats to kids

Americans under age 20 saw 2,500% increase in money lost due to online scams from 2017 to 2022.

(InvestigateTV) — According to a study by the DQ Institute , almost 70% of children worldwide were exposed to at least one cyber threat in 2023.

David Emm, a principal security researcher at cyber security company Kaspersky , highlighted the top five online threats for children and adolescents.

Bank cards for children : These financial products are designed for kids as young as 12 and make kids easily susceptible to financially motivated scammers.

Smart home devices : These items are easily accessible by children, so make sure to regularly change the passwords. Also regularly inspect monitoring devices, like doorbell cameras and baby monitors, to ensure they have not been hacked.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI is quickly becoming ubiquitous, with a new study revealing about 25% of children use some form of AI on school assignments.

“What we need to understand, I suppose, with these large language models, is that we are feeding them with information, and that information can be brought out of those systems as well,” Emm explained. “So, we need to be really careful, I think, about the sharing implications, something which children are not really going to think about.”

AI apps can provide children with inappropriate content, so monitoring AI use is crucial for parents.

Online gaming : Chat functions combined with anonymity make kids an easy target for online scammers. Teach children to not share personal information with anyone online or to click on unknown links.

“It’s really the fact that there may be people that they’re interacting with who are not who they say they are, or they are who they say they are, but that they’re potentially a threat,” Emm emphasized.

Trendy apps : Fake iterations of popular apps are often created to trick users. These apps can contain malicious links for software designed to scam users.

Emm’s overall message to parents is simple:

• Stay informed about the latest cyber security threats.
• Talk to children regularly not sharing personal information.
• Do not click on random links.
