Insurance companies and health-care providers ask the most ridiculous security questions every time we cross paths. Name, Address, Date of Birth. Every single time they want this triplet of information under the guise of a security verification. I’ve a very good feeling that this is not for my or my accounts security since it’s all pretty much public information isn’t it? Or at the very least obtainable with little effort. The pessimist in me (who is usually right!) believes this triplet is actually an anti fraud measure.

It sucks that anti-fraud actually actually prevails over security with near-essential services like these.
