"Eighty-four percent did not know that phishing describes faked e-mail scams."

So what if you don't know the geek term for it, as long as you can recognise one.

"Twenty percent admitted they did not know what to do to protect themselves generally online."

Ah, that sounds more hopeful already. Seems it doesn't really matter if you know all the terms.

I agree some people are extremely clueless when it comes to these things (the family where I'm a nanny is a good example - popups and spyware all over the place). But then, if you will never find out there's a program on your PC transmitting your surfing habits, does it matter if it is? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
