How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led to My Epic Hacking | Gadget Lab | Wired.com: "As of Monday, both of these exploits used by the hackers were still functioning. Wired was able to duplicate them. Apple says its internal tech support processes weren’t followed, and this is how my account was compromised. However, this contradicts what AppleCare told me twice that weekend.

It makes no difference how "careful" you are with your personal information and security, if those you've entrusted with that information release it to others without your consent.
