Just heard about this, basically an extremely simple method of modifying a key which then is able to open just about an lock. Looked on youtube there are hundreds of videos on how to do it.
Here is a news report about it:

Here is a wiki about it:

95% of all residential locks are succeptable. This is very real! Certain high end locks are built in a different fashion and are not succeptible.
Just consider this an fyi, but if you are very security consious you should check your locks. I don't like the idea of millions of teenagers having this info, these keys are extremely easy to make.
