i've been hacked hard. details here-

i didnt think my info was being used, but when i finally got into my bank accounts, seems someone is using my paypal to drain my accounts.
paypal was the first place that i got locked out so hard that even tech support couldnt get my back in. so, i havent used it in months.
my new bank account, which i never linked to paypal had 13 transactions, totaling almost $3k.
they reversed it all, but...
my old account, which is, got bit less hard, but the bank has caught on and started reversing them. i'll have to call them today. but damn.

so, lord knows what else they are doing in my name out there.

so, who is the best? i'm not a very trusting person, so putting stuff like this in someone's hands, knowing what an unscrupulous person could do w it, well, ugh.
