I don't know how many of you are aware of the work of Brian Dunning, but he has had a most excellent weekly Podcast for a number of years. A great number of topics have been covered, all from a realistic (skeptic) perspective.

This episode is about Stolen passwords, and although one may quibble here and there with the terminology, I found it a quite entertaining general overview (I LOVE his work). The link is to the episode text as well as the ability to listen:

His stuff is much less Tech and much more about UFO's, Ancient Aliens, Cryptozoology, etc. It never fails to amaze me how facts will make clear how much the lunatic fringe lies.
 
Yeah mostly Americans believe such BS!

It's at the point that no matter what happens in this country (USA), people will believe it these days. I swear, I could post something with fictitious links proving that the dirtbag obama was an alien clone from Alpha Centauri 3, and within a month there would be a million believers.
