this is not funny, this attack has been arround for a very long time. during my time as a moderator of lockpicking101.com (and of course a lockpicking hobyist myself) we had our work cut out attempting to knock some sense into kids that came on the site asking for bump keys and "guides" on how to bump locks.
It's become more prevelant over the net recently due to articles from TOOOL containing demonstrations from barry of some very "high security" locks being bumped and also a notification at http://www.security.org/ (still there).
but the technique itself has been arround for ages. we can only hope that someone makes a better lock (*cough* www.abloy.com *cough*)
