#2Exactly the security I'd expect from a "CEO Portal". :)

#3I know someone who does web development internally at Wells Fargo. It's surprising how much stuff is exactly like this with the sole intent of making the user feel more secure and/or high-tech.

#5It closes the tab when I click "inspect element". How does it detect that?

#7Wow! I can't decide if this is hilarious or scandalous.

#8So, it's actually possible to update a dynamically served gif to provide real progress updates. If that's what they were doing, I'd wonder why they did that rather than use js hooks.
But this is just a silly static image. What if the server takes longer than the image to load?

#9this page doesn't actually do anything. It loads two animated gifs from Akamai (one for the text, and one for the bar), and then uses some javascript to close the window.
If I had to guess, there's a login page. When you submit your login, this page pops up and displays while the login is processed.
source:
Loading....
var selfClose = function() {
self.close();
};
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout(selfClose, 10000);
};
window.onblur = function() {
selfClose();
};

#10This sort of fake-loader animated GIF is pretty common; it's just a slightly more advanced version of a spinner GIF. I don't think it's really that bad.
What would be bad is if this page would accept a parameter to redirect you to somewhere, but it appears it doesn't do that -- it just closes itself. Presumably this page appears in an overlay that then closes itself.
