In a new survey 72% of people instantly knew where their iPod was, but only half of the people in the survey could say where their passport was. So what does this tell us? It shows that you care for the things you love. And do you love your passport? Thought not. But therein lies a problem; if we don’t love our official documents, and why should we, it means we probably don’t care for them that much. And that means they are more easily open to criminals. So how much do you care for your Internet official documents? Passwords? Logins? Or other Internet based information. Is it any wonder that identity fraud is so easy. We are going to have to start loving our passwords as much as our iPods.
