Gen Zs in New Zealand are vulnerable to online scams

Research shows that Gen Z is more vulnerable to online scams than older generations. They are often twice as likely to experience digital security incidents compared to Baby Boomers. Young people spend more time online and share personal information freely, increasing their risk. They are more likely to have social media accounts hacked or fall for online scams. In New Zealand, ASB is raising awareness about these risks among young people. Experts recommend open communication and using security tools to help protect against scams.
