尽管安全习惯有所改善,新的研究显示,但澳大利亚老年人更容易受到骗局的影响。 Older Australians are more vulnerable to scams despite better security habits, new research shows.

澳大利亚政府的研究揭示了各代人之间在应对网络威胁方面的差异:老年人(65岁以上)在违规后更有可能等待官方指导,在检查数据泄漏方面不太积极(在年轻群体中,28%对66%),但它们显示出更强的安全习惯,例如使用独特的密码(72%对54%)和更新软件(80%对60%以下)。 Australian government research reveals generational differences in cyber threat responses: older adults (65+) are more likely to wait for official guidance after a breach and less proactive in checking for data leaks (28% vs. 66% among younger groups), but they show stronger security habits like using unique passwords (72% vs. 54%) and updating software (80% vs. under 60%). 尽管存在这些保护行为,65岁以上的澳大利亚人仍然最容易受到金融骗局的影响,2025年有44 000多起投诉,损失8 800万美元。 Despite these protective behaviors, Australians over 65 remain the most vulnerable to financial scams, with over 44,000 complaints and $88 million lost in 2025. 年轻一代在监测暴露方面更加警惕,但更易受风险行动的影响,如点击可疑的链接。 Younger generations are more vigilant in monitoring exposure but more prone to risky actions like clicking suspicious links. 专家们强调需要有针对性地开展提高认识运动,因为520万澳大利亚人在违约后没有采取行动,除非得到通知,过去一年里有320万澳大利亚人遭受了个人欺诈。 Experts stress the need for tailored awareness campaigns, as 5.2 million Australians take no action after a breach unless notified, and 3.2 million experienced personal fraud in the past year.
