"More than 70% of people would reveal their computer password in exchange
for a bar of chocolate, a survey has found. 

"It also showed that 34% of respondents volunteered their password when
asked without even needing to be bribed. 

"A second survey found that 79% of people unwittingly gave away information
that could be used to steal their identity when questioned. 
Security firms predict that the lax security practices will fuel a British
boom in online identity theft. "
