Seriously. It actually checks that you've completed one of the surveys! And checks for ad-blocking the wedget to prevent page load.
There is no way its content is worth all the hassle.

#15FWIW, my Citi card info was stolen and used last week. This despite never being out of my possession.
About 2 months ago my citi card was charged for various things originating in L.A. and also small purchases online such as netflix. I was in possession of the card the whole time. Citibank refunded me all the charges.

If you hit a site like that when looking at a news story, just slap the keywords from the headline into Google News to find many copies of the same information in a less irritating package, such as the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13711528 in this case).
I would search the BBC directly but the last few times I've tried their search feature has failed to find the relevant story when an external search provider (Google in my case) found it easily...

#19I wonder when corporations will start taking true computer security seriously? Because it seems to me that companies just aren't. Toyota, Sony, Citibank, that construction company who allowed their computers to be compromised and thus have hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen.
It's a good time to be a hacker in the classic unlawful sense. Because of that, these events are only going to get worse and more frequent.

#20I apologize for not talking about the main topic here but I have to say what an obnoxious website! I can't read the article because it says:

YES. Especially when I can read it easily on http://techland.time.com/2011/06/09/now-citibank-hacked-thou...
If annoying your visitors and harassing them into taking ridiculous surveys is the only way to keep your site running, your business plan is seriously flawed.
