Millennials and their privacy – why aren’t they concerned?

16.7 million people fell victim to identity fraud in 2017 alone. A hacking attack occurs every 39 seconds.

But millennials don’t seem all that phased!!

A recent study into the general Australian communities’ attitude to privacy generated some surprising results. Of all the age groups, those between 18-34 years old were significantly less concerned in regard to privacy.

So why is it that millennials aren’t so worried?

Is it because their concerns are focused towards other issues like the current declining state of earth?

Is it because as they grew up with technology from a young age so are more accustomed to the internet and the benefits and concerns that come with it?

Or is it simply a case of the older generations being too paranoid and having unnecessary concerns into their online privacy?
