What I find interesting about this is that the survey was done by a company that sells security services. And of course I'm sure the news release was put out by them as well.
Exactly. What most people don't seem to understand is that the people issuing the survey have a vested interested. Unless I can verify the method used and believe they have no vested interest I will automatically assume they had an agenda to push. It seems alot of people see things the other way and accept the results unless they are shown to be false. As security types we do seem to be more cynical than most ;) Btw, I gave them feedback that their results were a joke because they couldn't verify that the passwords they were given were valid. I invite others to respond to them too (the url was available in the thread previously).
