Including mother’s maiden name.

Banks still use that as one of the security layers, when establishing an account.

Having that info up on a genealogy site invites trouble from identity thieves.

So is Blackstone in the identity theft business? Lots of money to be made there. For a fee we will happily ‘protect’ your identity. I always thought companies like ‘Lifelock’ seemed more like extortion rackets than helping you!
