Stupid Bloody Users

[andrewducker]

When I was an IT Manager one of the constant problems we bumped into was idiots giving out their passwords, writing them down and sharing them around.

I wasn't at all surprised therefore to read that:

Nine in ten (90 per cent) of office workers at London's Waterloo Station gave away their computer password for a cheap pen, compared with 65 per cent last year.

Men were slightly more likely to reveal their password with 95 per cent of blokes, compared to 85 per cent of women quizzed, prepared to hand over their password on request.

One interviewee said, "I am the CEO, I will not give you my password it could compromise my company's information".

A good start, but then the company boss blew it. He later said that his password was his daughter's name.

What is your daughters name the interviewer cheekily asked.

He replied without thinking: "Tasmin".

Reminds me of Chuck Palasldhowhwhhewh's book Lullaby, where everybody's password is 'password'.
