MySpace estimates that more than 100,000 people fell for the attack before it was shut down. The data I have is from two different collection points, and was cleaned of the small percentage of people who realized they were responding to a phishing attack. I analyzed the data, and this is what I learned.
Bruce Schneier is a real security expert. He is one of the most well known in the security industry, hes very smart.

We used to quip that "password" is the most common password. Now it's "password1." Who said users haven't learned anything about security?
I've read on Slashdot recently that the average MySpace user has a better password than the average worker at a company.
"You know the computer security of your company is bad when dumb emo kids on MySpace got better passwords than your employees".
