Do not give away your identity for a candy bar
Infosecurity Europe recently offered a chocolate bar to 576 office workers if they would reveal some personal information. Passwords, dates of birth, names and telephone numbers. In short, more than enough to steal an identity. Sadly, 45% of women and 10% of men happily gave away their passwords for a bit of chocolate!
Listen, folks, all it takes to steal your identity is your name and date of birth. All it takes to get a ton more information than that is one password to a computer or e-mail account. Keep your personal information to yourself, and NEVER share your passwords with anyone. Especially strangers with candy.
