TEMPE, Ariz. & PRAGUE, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey conducted online in the US by The Harris Poll on behalf of Norton, a consumer Cyber Safety brand of Gen™ (NASDAQ: GEN), reveals Gen Z (ages 18-25) and Millennials (ages 26-42) have concerningly relaxed attitudes about online stalking. Over one-third of Gen Z (34%) and Millennials (35%) say they don't care if they are being stalked online by a current/former partner, as long as they are not being stalked in-person. This is more than three times higher than what older adults (age 58+) (10%) reported. 

Key Points: 
  • The fact that so many Gen Z and Millennials think online stalking is acceptable tells us that more needs to be done to educate younger generations about the dangers," said Kevin Roundy, Senior Technical Director of Norton Labs.
  • These attitudes and behaviors are a slippery slope that could place people in real danger, whether the stalking is online or in-person.
  • One possible explanation for relaxed attitudes about online creeping and stalking is a lack of understanding of how sinister it can become.
  • In addition to new discoveries about online creeping and stalking, the study revealed online dating scams are impacting some Americans.
