MSNBC is running an article (more here) talking about the weakness of the typical 'forgot your password' routine. You know, the one were you answer a question like "What is your dog's name?" and they email you a new password.
It seems, that with minimal social engineering and the help of Facebook and MySpace info, this guy got into his friends bank accounts. With their permission of course.
It's worth a read, and is something to think about.
