'Are people caring enough?'

jnights from Watching my back -

I think a lot of people know that there are privacy issues on the web, but they just don't care a whole lot about it. We need to educate these people through forums like this and show them that they need to be aware and to take preventative action. Not a simple task to do.

Quite right. The fact that so many people fall for the scams online can only mean that they are not faintly aware of all the security issues. What amazes me is that people will go online at a public terminal in an airport or internet cafe and login to their bank accounts without being aware of the incredible risk they are taking by leaving their passwords on the terminal. It is hardly likely that most are savvy enough to know how to delete it from cache or whether this is even feasible on many of these terminals.
