Wow, Bank of Ireland are completely clueless about #security.

“BOI: We need to speak to you about your credit card application…

Me: Sure…

BOI: First, let’s verify you…full name, date of birth…

Me: …

BOI: Mother’s maiden name?

Me: LjwOtrNGIgpJlJE

BOI: So this is the problem: We need your mother’s maiden name.

Me: I just gave it. This is a security question and I provided you with a password.

BOI: No, that won’t work, we need her name.

Me: Wow… OK… Please cancel my application.”
