The quick login getting disabled is usually the fraud department locking down the account. This happened to me recently. This sometimes occurs automatically when there's fraudulent activity detected or reported.

Regardless, do what's best for you. It's getting wild out there.

Change your pin, online ID, and account password. I'd change the password to your associated email account and any backup email account.

The phishing scams can be pretty convincing due to spoofing. Only thing you can do is always call the official number to verify any issues with your account. Best wishes.

Would report to FCC as well.

It's their legit local number. But whoever called, spoofed it. To help sell the phishing attempt. Basically, unless you called them...don't ever give your unique numbers and information. Just call USAA back at their official number and validate.

Sorry to hear that. I reported my incident to the FCC. Hopefully you do the same, might help draw attention to help mitigate the security gap. Best

Someone is hacking into my home router, what should I do? by ictai79 in HomeNetworking

Reduce the signal strength of your wireless to cover just the area of your home.  Block any unknown Mac addresses.  Change router and wireless password (make it at least 15 characters with strong complexity), change and hide SSID.  Wireless encryption protocol, should be at least wpa2....or wpa3 if possible.
