Survey finds that young tech-savvy people pay less attention to online security risks than older people. Survey polled 1,245 young and older tech users from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Canada and Australia. Survey found that respondents aged 18 to 25 generally tend to overestimate their knowledge about computer security. Older Internet users appeared to be more concerned about email-borne attacks while younger users were concerned about threats emanating from social media channels and file-sharing networks. Older users were less likely than the older ones to pay for antivirus products, third-party firewalls or integrated security suites.”]
