37-factor authentication: A mother’s answer to a nasty scam America isn’t the only country being bombarded with spam texts. In Japan, a common scam targeting seniors involves a single text message that just says “It’s me.

Her kid, apparently, is a huge fan. If you thought that was clever, this older woman from Japan designed a video game just for seniors.
