It's a logical idea.... given today's world and the nature of society / capitalism at this point in time. I am writing an essay "On The Internet, You Should Pretend To Be A Dog". The same basic idea of strip mining a person's social media presence (along with whatever databases of information is handy) and machine learning the heck out of it to figure out sources of information or specific starting points for cracking your passwords (assuming you are one of the subset who base your password on personal information - how many non-IT people do that? - and don't bother paying attention to all the advice out there)
Really it's an essay about good password policies, e.g. for Grandma who thinks her cat's name spelled backwards is hard to guess... yet posts all over Facebook about Meowie.
Considering Mark Zuckerberg didn't bother to use LastPass or memorize a simple sort of random string of characters...
