Data Breaches

I can't believe it-my personal data was breached on Chase, Bank of America and ATT. WTH??? to log into any of my accounts takes codes and many steps.

you would think they would have a better handle on this.

Companies go cheap on their cyber security. The best anyone can do is to keep a freeze on their credit with all three bureaus. And log into all of your bank, brokerage and card accounts at least once a week.

Financial apps are handy but just don't. You're screwed if you lose that phone.

If you have a retired laptop, use it only for financial matters. And keep it at home.

@Crazywaterspring i just joined free Experian Credit protection through ATT. i locked my credit report with them. i have to do it with the other 2 next. i destroy the hard drive when i donate my laptops. and yes, i check the banks all the time. i was a little worried about putting in my passport etc on experian. who is to say they won't get hacked
