Michigan AG Warns The Internet Generation Not So Good With The Internet

The Michigan Attorney General’s office has released information to make Michigan residents aware that members of Generation Z – those born between the late 1990s and early 2010s – are three times more likely to be victims of online scams.

Those under 20 lost an estimated $8.2 million in 2017 and $210 million in 2022, a more than two-thousand percent increase, per the FBI’s Internet Crime Reports.

Reason being members of Generation Z spend large amounts of time shopping online or engaging with social media, along with leaving apps open and not using two-factor authentications.
