reveal their passwords for chocolate. Well, at this year's Infosecurity 
Europe, it was revealed that 92% of the 200 attendees surveyed would 
gladly trade enough information to steal their identities for a chance 
to win theater tickets. Social engineering at its best. Why spend time 
writing bots and rootkits when people will give you what you want for a 
piece of candy or a ticket to see The Pacifier?"
