John Wilson, Senior Fellow of Threat Research at Fortra, explains in Straight Arrow News why cybercriminals are increasingly targeting teens and young adults online. He notes that younger generations are highly active on social media and gaming platforms, giving scammers a larger pool of potential victims. The article highlights the growing importance of awareness and education as online scams continue to evolve and why organizations should help promote cyber safety and scam prevention.
"But with younger folks, they’re far more online. Everybody is on social media, everybody is on gaming apps. There’s a much broader set of targets." — John Wilson, Straight Arrow News
