Survey Says 1 in 10 Britons Victims Of Online Fraud

The results of a recent survey conducted in the UK show that one in ten Britons have been victims of online fraud. I'm guessing that this survey, which interviewed only 2600 people, is like many polls — highly suspect and not necessarily representative. On the other hand, and more interesting than the poll itself, it seems that many of these people who were polled were stupid enough to use only one password on all the sites they visit. Come on folks, that's like leaving the keys to your car on a post outside your house.

(Ed. Note: If there are that many bad passwords out there, maybe the 1 in 10 result isn't so suspect after all?)
