Jeebus! Full name, Mother's maiden name, and birth city? They might as well have thrown in SSN.  It looks like all client-side javascript as far as I can tell, but if that page had a server roundtrip, it could have been a clever phishing scheme.   That's why I didn't give them mom's maiden name.  |
