Kinda scared the crap out of me yesterday. I got an email from our head honcho IT guy saying somebody at my firm had their identity stolen and the bad guys cleaned out their 401k account. He strongly recommended setting up 2 step authentication with a cell phone to receive texts.
I had naively though that getting money out of a 401k was a huge job, with lots of forms to fill out and stuff, so I was never all that concerned about security. So I checked mine, and saw that my future was still safe. The funds were still there.
So now today I'm setting up the two-step authentication on all my various accounts and changing all the passwords to more secure ones. It's a real pain in the ass, but I guess it's smart in this day and age.
