I'm having the same problem with Coinbase. And I'm not even under 21, like the author of the article. I'm 28 and have a credit history. But since my name is common enough, I get questions based on my own and others' histories. I even double checked my credit history to make sure there wasn't anything suspicious in there. Coinbase is simply pulling in other people's data.
I wonder if there's an identity theft vulnerability waiting to happen here. You're getting questions based on other people and you know one of the answers must be correct. I wonder if an automated system could use that to find the correct answers for a given name.
