What you're referring to is more often called information security. Cryptography usually just refers to the methods, algorithms, and protocols of transferring data.

But there's little point in arguing the semantics of words. I think we can all agree the human factor plays a large part in almost all intrusions these days.

HAHAHA. My brother did exactly this. There was an email address that he wanted. Despite the fact that he couldn't sign up for the address at gmail or yahoo because it was already taken, he used that email to sign up for various services anyway. He could not understand the fact that he doesn't have control of the email address stops him from using it.

He has autism btw. I tried to explain this to him a million times and he still can't understand it.
