The reason I say ignorant is the main targets of the
spammer/scammer/social scoundrels often hook the newbie and
inexperienced who haven't yet encountered the problems or had anyone to
lead them to the right areas for Security.


I disagree. I had a clients wife get an email from her "Bank" talking
about doing a security update and needing her to send them her
user/password and SSN to verify it. This person had been warned many
times, they had also been sent emails multiple times about these things,
they had even seen them in the past and then commented on them (from
other banks).... The news media even did an article on this same type of
threat a month before, it was one several channels and even in the news
paper.

We've all, and I mean everyone, know that this is a threat and common
method - Ignorance would be NOT KNOWING, "Stupid" is knowing and still
falling for it.
