ZDNet UK has an interview article with Kevin Mitnick, reformed phreaker
and cracker who is now a security expert.  In the article Mitnick
discusses the prevalence of social engineering as an intrusion method, and
steps to take to prevent or defend against it.

The full article is at:

It ends a bit abruptly (no summary paragraph), but still a good read.
