Forget gullible old people — Gen Z is the most at-risk age group on the Web. Older folks might want to ignore it, but employers are likely to feel the brunt.

    Earlier this spring, in survey data shared with Dark Reading, CyberArk found 20% of Gen Zers said they’d never been hacked before. That was just half the rate reported by baby boomers (41%), despite their having lived literally fewer years during which they could have been hacked.

    This article is worthless. What does “hacked” mean and how TF does that in any way translate to “scammed”. This is a seld reported survey. What’s the bias of people who responded? What do these groups think the word “hacked” mean? Do gen-zers think that a friend stealing their password to the tiktok is being “hacked”? Would baby boomers even be able to defect being “hacked”?
