This is really hilarious, and I think it qualifies as system hacking.

It's also somewhat cruel to whoever has to read your "clever" message.

Cruel? It might make a callcenter employee smile. It's borderline humanitarian.

It passes the Golden Rule test. :)

It's so silly, but very funny indeed (see also the comments on Schneier's post).

But I guess it's only possible because this particular bank really messed up, isn't it? Custom security questions are meant to be used in netbanking, not to be asked by humans.

Are there any other banks who do that?
