I also got my credit card hacked just before XMAS....tragic as the bank had to cancel my card and issue a new one. Luckily the new one came in 2 days of the wife would have had a shopping nightmare. Anyway, as an extra precaution, I put a lock on my two savings accounts for 90 days. Nothing can come out of the account without a special authorization by me. Money could still go in if I wanted. I was really worried that if they got the credit card, how much else did they get at bank. May renew this lock at the end of 90 days. My brokerage people will not do any transaction unless they get a verbal approval by me or my wife. And they absolutely know our voices. No electronic transactions allowed on anything. All verbal approvals.
