Just checked out their recover password page. Just date or birth and one security question are needed. So if you already know a person, pretty easy to hack their accounts.

There's no cooldown period when you guess wrong. They say there's a 24 hour cooldown, but there isn't one. You can keep guessing all day if you solve a captcha for every three guesses you make. Captcha cracking is a cheap offshorable service, $1 for a thousand

I always enter absolute garbage in security question fields if I'm forced to use it. (for example: "ajscnuiwnoamcoebuifbaonauwbuifwbdi")

And this is another perfect example to fill in random bits of information upon signup and keep that in your password manager along your real password.

Inclusive a fake birthday.
