Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do::The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers.
idk, here piracy is still very prevalent with all generations and doesn’t seem like it impacts scammability.
Piracy has become kind of easier and standard. I haven’t checked but I bet there is a discord and youtube community about pirating. That didn’t exist. I learned about torrenting from an online friend through Maplestory. Limewire was a thing some kid at school told you about. And we all got viruses doing it.
It felt like you had to know a guy to know anything. Now you can just google and the communities for pirating are massive now.
