Bruce Schneier's excellent blog on security today links to a long-ish, but interesting story about a young woman with a natural talent at social engineering as means to bypass security. Sadly, she used her talents to steal, but maybe someday a security firm will employ her for penetration testing.
Schneier's blog is an excellent resource for anyone interested in security in general (and information security in particular). At times it's overly technical for a non-techie reader, but those parts are easy to skip. If you have ever had a password or perhaps entered some personal information to a web form, it's worth reading.
