(CBS) - A video called "How to crack the iPad password in 5 seconds" is beginning to circulate on YouTube, which shows a man bypassing an iPad lock screen in seconds. No password. No hacking. So how did he do it?

A hacking group calling themselves “Team Swastika” posted what they claimed was over 10,000 comprised Facebook accounts to Pastebin, a service that serves as an online clipboard.

Instead, it appears that the hackers obtained the accounts using common phishing techniques, where users were tricked into giving away their personal information.
