Paul Williamson from Deloitte »It's official. Women can't keep secrets. And what's more, they are prepared to give away private information with the lure of nothing more than a chocolate bar. But don't shoot the messenger. This isn't me being sexist, this is according to the latest survey by a top research body with too much time on its hands.
A survey by Infosecurity Europe found that women are far more likely to give away their computer passwords to total strangers than men.
Apparently 45% of women versus 10% of men were prepared to give away their password to strangers masquerading as market researchers with the lure of a chocolate bar as an incentive for filling in the survey.
The research also asked for workers names and telephone numbers so that they could be entered into a draw to go to Paris, with this incentive 60% of men and 62% of women gave up their contact information.
So there it is - proof if it were needed - that men are more trustworthy than women.
Admittedly the survey should be taken with a pinch of salt as only 576 people were questioned but it also highlighted the dangers of internet security, or lack of it.
