A computer security survey, revealed over 100 employees questioned were ready to disclose confidential passwords.

One-third of those questioned refused to give out confidential information, however, a startling 64% of interviewees admitted to divulging password to colleagues. One candidate stated “I am the boss and everyone knows my password”. Infosecurity Europe and The Human Firewall conducted the survey in Victoria station last week.

The results represent a worrying lack of security awareness amongst employees.
