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?

The bank has to give you the money back.
From now use a credit card.You see the statement before you pay the bill.For savings look for a fixed account which will prevent anyone accessing it.Mine are on certificates sent to me through the mail and the money is held in the account at a set rate for example 2.5 % for 3 years.I'm not a fan of internet banking it's not very secure.I use my credit card for everything and have an automatic payment from my current account to clear the balance.All my bills are paid direct debit.Once it's all set up it's easy.
