An experiment by a security company reported by The Register revealed, “Nine in ten (90 per cent) of office workers at London’s Waterloo Station gave away their computer password for a cheap pen” – or at least they gave away what they claimed was their password.
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”.
