As per a survey conducted by Google, youth are more sane when it comes to securing accounts online social media accounts.

Selon Harris Poll which surveyed a sample of 3,000 adults told that 78 percent of the Generation Z (Ageing from 16 to 23 years old) are using the same password for number of their accounts holding precious data.

People having over 50 plus age uses the same password for multiple accounts, which makes 60 percent of the 50 plus adults. Meanwhile, 67 percent of the people ageing 25 to 49 years old have the same behavior of using the same password.

Hackers use Phishing tactics to gain access to your passwords and stealing your one password mean stealing your entire internet identity. But surprizingly more young adults are sane about their security as 72 percent of Gen Z are sure that they will never become a victim of phishing scam whereas 44 percent of them knew what actually Phishing is. 25 to 49 year olds were unable to understand what Phishing scam means.
