I think people forget that the internet has fully supplanted television and unlike the 90’s home that had a TV that was somehow always on (or at least that’s how it was at my Aunts house in the 90s), people these days while away their hours fully plugged into the internet. I would suspect people who watched a lot of television were more likely to fall for scams on TV, too (my Aunt, for example, believes literally everything on FOX News). Internet scams are far more of a free-for-all than television ever was.
Also how many gen z have grown up with amazing technology but don’t really understand it at all. It just works.
Not like previous generations that had to learn more in depth to make shit work because it was buggy as hell or just plain wasn’t user friendly at all.
They’re also susceptible to getting their phone stolen, people accessing their computer they left open in class and a whole lot of threat vectors boomers and millenials aren’t susceptible to (or not anymore)
Not really surprising considering how much more time gen z spends on the internet. And how many members haven’t even graduated high school yet.

According to the dates provided the youngest zoomers are just now joining 8th grade. How useful is that data really?
