They start by going in to their email addresses. They do this by clicking "forgot password," and often they can guess the security questions based on other information you have on sites. Once inside email, they can pretty much reset any password to any other account you have registered under that email address.

It's all so easily avoidable though by basic privacy controls and not posting stupid things

You should quote swims in meters, bigger numbers just sound better.
