Gen Z Face Higher Risk of Cyber Scams Than Older Generations

Cybercriminals continue to deceive Gen Z, despite being considered the most tech-savvy age group.

A record 2.7m online scams were taken down last year by the National Cyber Security Centre Dominic Lipinski/PA

Younger Australians are more likely to fall victim to scams, fraud, attacks, and identity crime than older age groups, according to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

The AFP warned that Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) have a higher risk of cyber scams due to their extensive online presence.
