The Rise of Teen Hackers ‘Makes for a Good Headline’, but Cyber Crime Activities Peak Later in Life
Orange Cyberdefense’s analysis of 418 public law‑enforcement cases from 2021 to mid‑2025 shows cyber‑crime activity peaks among adults aged 35‑44, who account for 37% of incidents. Combined, individuals aged 25‑44 represent 58% of all reported cases, while teenagers and young adults contribute a minority—21% for 18‑24 and under 5% for 12‑17. The research also reveals a shift in motives: younger hackers tend to experiment, whereas older offenders focus on financially driven crimes such as extortion and malware deployment. These findings challenge the media narrative that teen hackers dominate the threat landscape.
