I did some tech work for a wealthy old guy and his wife. They used AOL Gold Desktop Browser as their web browser as of late June 2023. His issue was caused by him using AOL. I put them on chrome with Ublock and bookmarked aol email. They should probably have a password manager with 2FA but switching from AOL to chrome was a big step.

You've Got Mail, the romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a very weird time capsule.
