Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA)’s Post

GASA members Amazon and Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) have launched CyberFlex, a new tool to protect young adults (18-25) from online scams. Despite their tech-savvy nature, young adults are highly vulnerable to scams like impersonation, investment, and cryptocurrency fraud. CyberFlex aims to raise awareness, shift attitudes, and provide easy steps to help young adults protect themselves.

In response, CyberFlex offers free, mobile-friendly resources to help identify, avoid, and report scams.    "Digital natives are a growing target for cybercriminals," said Brian Cute, COO at GCA. "CyberFlex provides valuable resources to build a more trustworthy internet."   Scott Knapp, Amazon's Director of Worldwide Buyer Risk Prevention, added, "Education around scam avoidance is critical. Amazon is proud to collaborate with GCA to help young adults stay safe online." #OnlineSafety #Investment #Impersonation #Cryptocurrency #FraudPrevention #ScamAwareness

I would also add that they are so used to giving away data and trusting 'everything' online and this is why your post is really relevant. The focus has been on the 'not so tech savvy' that we've forgotten educating young adults and just assume that because they are digital native that they are safe.
