Yeah no shit I'm surprised even 8% of boomers are online, they're using the only perfect antivirus - abstinence
That and a lot of stuff is no longer email scams. They have moved on to platforms like Discord that would be rare for a boomer to use. Even viruses are hardly an issue for them because everything is mostly done on mobile now. I know zero boomers who would say I am going to install this random .apk for a cool app that was suggested to me... instead it would just be "the app you recommend doesn't exist, it's not in the Play/Apple store"
It's this weird Era where you almost need a little more technological literacy to be scammed, but not enough to actually recognize a scam.
Been online before you were born, kid.
Yet still not wise enough to understand time means nothing if you do nothing with it
