I've managed to get my parents to be suspicious about emails and phone calls, to forward me anything they're unsure of, to reply to any communications purporting to be from their financial institutions by calling back with the number on their card or statement, to install updates as soon as they become available, to use unique passwords for everything and so on....but I still regularly find malicious extensions installed on their browsers and homepages set to some fake version of Google.
I continue to try to educate, but nowadays I make sure they always have ad blockers installed (I believe most of the tricks they fall for stem from malicious ads) and I try to lock things down and disable features where it makes sense. I dislike the locked down world of iOS and what has become of MacOS, but I appreciate having it for devices they use. This is part of my job, I think about this stuff every day and I still worry I can't keep up, so I can't really expect the same from them.
