Sure, now they take steps to ensure their data security. I guess it wasn't high on their list of priorities after making billions.
D.Tibbitt, Rideandrepair and PE_T Thank this. -
I wouldn't tap any of the links in the email. This email could be a way to get your bank information.
Good luck.Rideandrepair and PE_T Thank this. -
However, the email is legit. I confirmed it.xsetra, PE_T and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
I got an email too about 30 min ago. It’s apparently real. Now I’m wondering what I have to do.

I got a second email and it outlines the steps in putting a personal fraud alert on the 3 credit bureaus and some other stuff.
Scooter Jones and PE_T Thank this. -
I found this. I’m apparently going to have to get another bank account!

So I was thinking about getting a new bank account number, but I have a feeling that it may not make much of a difference, unless I stop completely using bank checks or paying with ACH and also getting paid by ACH. Then I also have my bank account set up for all sorts of alerts that I receive by email, and finally bank fraud is covered by my bank as long as it is reported within 60 days.
TallJoe Thanks this. -
I am glad I never set up ACH with them. That was thanks to this TR forum where a person was complaining that they helped themselves with 2 grand from his biz checking account after alleged claim was filed. LOL.
The ironic thing is that it had to happen to a broker that was branded by many as the worst of the worst.6wheeler, adayrider, Snailexpress and 1 other person Thank this.
