Infosecurity Europe did a “survey” where members of the public in the UK were asked to fill in a survey that included sharing their password — 45% of women gave up their password — the reward for filling out the survey was a bar of chocolate. The big store was that only 10% of men gave it up for chocolate, of course it wouldn’t be hard to imagine a reward that would make men give up a password pretty quickly.

The story seemed to have legs because it was the usual fluff that showed the silliness of women and dependence on mood altering substances like chocolate. No mention was made as to whether the passwords given were real or just a way of getting free chocolate.

CBR carried the story with a straight face

The Inquirer, at least, thought it was funny
