    Yeah. If they were in America they'd give it up for a burger and fries and a smile from an overweight school dropout.

            I realised that was an indirect insult to Americans after I hit submit, but then being from England (which is different from Britain CapSS) I am obviously dumb enough to give my password out for chocolate and a smile so can't be expected to spot things like that! The insult was directed at CaptainSS as he is clearly an idiot!

                London (England) - Most companies have secrets protected by passwords, but according to a recent study those passwords can be obtained with just a candy bar and a smile. The Infosecurity Europe group surveyed 300 office and IT workers and found that nearly two-thirds of them were prepared to give up their passwords for a chocolate bar and a smile from an attractive “researcher”. IT workers, whom we would consider to be more secretive, fared better than their paper and pencil pushing coworkers, but still fell victim. :laugh::doh: British are so stupid and helpless. http://www.tgdaily.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31659&Itemid=118[^]

                Why waste money on a chocolate bar? Many major cases of corporate espionage were possible because employees gave out their security details over the telephone. "Hello, my name is David and I am calling from IT Security. We need to reset your access rights or you won't be able to log on to the network. What is your user id? and your password? [small pause] Ok, we have reset your account and you shouldn't notice any other problems. Bye."

                  That is merely just speculation from someone who has issues with America and his own nationality. The fact is that the test was done in Britain and proves the citizens of Britain are not that sharp and are weak. If you wish to provide a link to a similar test in America please feel free to, otherwise keep your hands off your keyboard and just think what you feel about me instead.

                      That's in fact only based on 1/300th of what the other survey was - which means by CS#'s logic that, umm, it's infallible! :rolleyes:

                        No worries - I was just giving back some of CSS' own meds. I encountered enough of the US to know where my European prejudice needs to end :)

                          US English is like French Spanish. An abortion. (Actually it is archaic English from the 17th century, which in itslef makes it interesting to linguists)
