ID Theft Made Easy

chiagoo writes "You may remember that 70% of the time, people will 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?"

Theater tickets, not cinema tickets. Submitter is just an asshole.

Tickets to something like Phantom can cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars for good seats, depending on the city. However, they will almost certainly get you laid.

I wouldn't even stop walking for free movie tickets.

FYI, the official city for postal code 12345 is Schenectady, NY.
