WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — Caring teens teamed up recently to protect vulnerable seniors from fraud and cybercrime scams.

Westhampton Beach High School Virtual Enterprise students collaborated to create an informative presentation about cybersecurity and online fraud.

Next, they volunteered to share it with residents of the Villa at Westhampton, an assisted living facility — to help protect them against identity theft, hacking and more, the Westhampton Beach School District said.
