Now, lest you get your hopes up and think it's possible to change the
world, read this:

The final question in the survey asked respondents to enter their
password to be included in a prize draw. Despite the fact that this
information would give a hacker open-access to private IT networks, an
incredible 15 percent of people opted to give their password - before
the on-line survey pointed out their mistake.

And 14 of those 15% entered bogus passwords just to enter into the prize
drawing. I'm sure there are some dumbasses out there, but why put in a
real password when a fake one will do?
