The single biggest cause of network security breaches is not software bugs and unknown network vulnerabilities but user stupidity, according to a survey published by computer
consultancy firm @Stake.

The security research company, which is best known for uncovering bugs in operating systems and network software, says that, despite the ever risk of computer fraud, many corporate
computer users leave passwords on post-it notes, fail to change passwords from the default and incorrectly configure hardware.
