  Due to the increasing use of Internet by older adults and their low computer
and Internet security literacy, their susceptibility to online fraud has also
increased. This suggests in turn that there are still too few Internet
education materials targeting seniors. We take a first step towards developing
interactive security information materials for seniors by determining which
media they prefer and can easily comprehend. We studied the reception of two
media, text and audio, as they communicated information about email-based
phishing attacks. Our preliminary study of 34 seniors shows that the
participants personally preferred the text over the audio. However, the
comprehension score was not significantly different for participants who read
the phishing training text script as compared to the participants who listened
to the phishing training audio script.
