According to an AT&T sponsored survey, 78% of executives admitted to opening attachments from unknown senders in the last year, 29% used their own name or birthday as a "secure" password, 17% accessed the company network in a public place and didn't log out, 9% informally shared a network password with someone outside of the company.
