6. I heard it was a social hack.

like if I know your name and bounce it to lexis nexis and pull information on you. With that someone can "hack" your 401k, bank accounts, etc.

A hack requires skill, this does not appear to have been a elegant thing.

Trust me if this was done to you you would be fucking pissed.

8. Account credentials are worth a $3 Starbucks Gift Card

according to an experiment done last year in Manhattan. Participants were asked to provide account log on and email credentials for any one of their bosses or company leaders in return for a large Starbuck's latte. Only a minority were willing, but it wasn't a small minority.

Workers Trade Password Security For Starbucks

Internet security and infrastructure company VeriSign said that 85% of participants in a "lighthearted, unscientific" survey compromised their actual password, or revealed hints about their password, for a cup of coffee.
