There's an incredibly interesting story at CNN.com about a hacker who installed keystroke-sniffing software on Internet terminals at several Kinko's stores in New York. He captured over 450 passwords and used them to access and open bank accounts online. But the really wacky thing was how he was caught:

Jiang was caught when, according to court records, he used one of the stolen passwords to access a computer with GoToMyPC software, which lets individuals access their own computers from elsewhere.

The GoToMyPC subscriber was home at the time and suddenly saw the cursor on his computer move around and files open as if by themselves. He then saw an account being opened in his name at an online payment transfer service.

God, that's so cinematically beautiful it's almost scripted.
