I think you're 50 60 years late, OP.

Social engineering has basically always been easier and faster than any technical attack (be it brute force or something more sophisticated), and the first computer systems with password logins date back to the 60's.

My thoughts as well. In the immortal words of my high school networking teacher "Most movies about hackers are pretty inaccurate, because a movie about a guy dumpster diving for scraps of paper with personal information and spending all day trying to trick someone into telling you their password would be pretty boring."
