Something I've noticed is the young people have very little intelligence on the internet compared to at least what it seemed like in the early days when I was on there around those ages. It's too normal to just share things freely. Simple things I've heard of sharing passwords and accounts is almost common.
About 2 weeks ago a work group chat I was in that was set up by our shop steward had an incident like that. A new hire sent his bank account and routing number, in plain text, over text message, to at least 20 people. The shop steward literally had to beg people not to run off with that information and delete it.
I can confidently say that I don't have many moments where my jaw literally dropped open, but that was one of them. It was literally a moment where I thought, "am I the same species as this thing?" to myself.
I was taught not to reveal personal information on the internet at a young age, that it would get stolen by 1337 haxorz and sheeit. Apparently nobody born after 9/11 was taught that.
