Ah, social engineering, probably the most efficient way of doing targeted hacking. :)
But still, strong and more importantly unique passwords (I'm bad at this too, but starting to use something like KeePass or LastPass helps) are probably quite a good deterrent to more passive/large scale breaches so it's still good advice. Even if it hadn't helped in this case! ;)
