Passwords for chocolate
Posted 23 April 2008 at 8:12AM by Hannah Gilchrist in Internet security
Keeping passwords and security details a secret can be one of the toughest jobs in business, but it now seems that the harder you work hard to protect your information, there is still a missing link.
You always have your paranoia about your security levels, but at some point or another it's inevitable that you will suffer a security crisis. It may be through hackers, tailgaters at your front door or office temps, some of which you can control, but what about those who slip through the net undetected?
It may be difficult to believe but in the UK, female office workers are four times more likely to exchange passwords for chocolate. So what does it take to ensure your staff are taking the same measures as you?
Granted the numbers of bribed beauties has gone down in the past year, but why does getting the message through to people still seem a tough job?

Finally. About time you've posted something quasi-decent.
I find it a tad shocking that 45% of women could exchange their passwords for a chocolate bar. Ridiculous bimbos.At least now i know a way to get hold of passwords.

That's because they offered the wrong thing to the men. Men are not as interested in chocolate as women. Ask them for their login credentials in exchange for a new car or a night of passion with the female market researcher and I bet every man would have passed them over!!
