Many people fail to take simple steps to protect themselves online.  A survey by the Information Commissioner* found that 88% of those questioned would still click on a link in an email to go to a site instead of checking the URL was correct  and then typing it into their browser.  Phishing scams rely on people clicking links to take them to bogus versions of genuine sites, like banks.
