They already ask questions like that. They are still easy to hack. I think this is due to large data mining. If you never Google yourself you might be shock what info is out there that you never even posted on social media or publicly.
I think it's best just to make up an answer unrelated to the question for best possible security if you have use that feature. Google did away with it because they realize it was how people were hacking in. I hope other sites follow.
