[Gllug] how safe is linux against identity thief

I was amused by a phishing e-mail which I got recently which claimed that
I needed to "re-validate my logon" because "one of your pieces of security
information - i.e. mother's maiden name - has changed"

I struggled to come up with a scenario in which anyone's mother's maiden
name could change.
