I just tried the URL given by the OP. The website looked credible and had 
places to enter given and surname for a search. I entered a given name and got 
a drop down list below the surname box. That was a bit alarming, as the list 
appeared mined from my machine, likely from Firefox. Since I'm running Linux, I 
don't feel as vulnerable as most and pushed my luck by clicking the appropriate 
surname and commanding search. That brought a zero hit reported result and a 
warning that 2 people were spying on me, with an offer of software to identify 
who. OK, now the picture is clear. ..

This may be judged off topic for the list, but I personally feel it a duty to 
pass on information which may help others, and should note that my Firefox is 
obsolete, so may be vulnerable to attacks which are not a problem for current 
versions.
