If you check the code, you can see you're not "signing in to XBox Live" at all - you're entering your information into a standard submission form, which will send the information you enter directly to the site owner.

microsoftpointheaven.weebly.com
which is now offline. It will no doubt resurface somewhere else, so be on your guard...
