That sentence /should/ read:
No wonder 99% of the population have no idea about security.
(notice deletion of word _online_) :-)
In general, people have no idea about security, it's true. Plaxo, et al
are not to blame for that, though. They just use the fact to their
advantage.
FB et al don't _store_ the passwords. They're used in a single shot way;
Enter the relevant site using password provided by user
d/l the address book
dispose of all data, inc. passwords used
paste addresses into pro forma
email them
Or some variation on that.
The worst thing is that (certainly it's true at FB, not sure about the
others, as I don't have accounts with Twitter, Bebo, etc.) the password
is sent to FB in plain.
My MUAs address book has about 10 addresses in it, that's all. Mailing
lists aren't there because Claws-Mail allows the setting of default
addresses on a per folder basis, meaning that the address book is
redundant for that purpose.
