In an inquiry of the British Ministry for industry and trade indicated approximately 60 per cent of the asked ones to never change their passwords. Passwords on notes note or store about 35 per cent of the users these on the computer. Both represents an appropriate safety risk, because by spying passwords such a larger damage can be caused. From the 1,800 asked indicated 20 per cent to use the same password for on-line Banking as well as other announce-requiring web pages. If an aggressor spies such a password, it can cause larger damage, as if for each announce-requiring service another password is used. The responsible British Minister, Malcolm Wicks, sees the inquiry as vouchers for the fact that humans are still the largest risk, if it concerns computer security.
