Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?

So I discovered my checking and savings accounts were drained over the weekend. I stopped my account... which only has about $30 left between the two now... and that's about all I can do for the time being until my bank opens tomorrow. 😬

I guess my question is what do I do in the future? Keep my money stuffed in the mattress? How do I stop it from happening again?

Not much you can do. People have all sorts of ways to steal the card info or bank info in general. As long as your bank refunds you I wouldn't worry about it

@UndercoverBard I'm mostly worried about what to do in the future. Where should I keep my money instead?

@dumpstermeow Nowhere is completely safe honestly. Any sort of banking account runs the risk of being broken into. And keeping all cash could always be stolen from you. At least if it's stolen from a bank account there should be records of it and you should be reimbursed

@dumpstermeow when they hacked my debit card I cancelled it and got my money out of my bank into another bank
