In light of the Equifax breach, I was wondering, what you do to protect yourself. Given that a large portion of our net worth is in 1s and 0s on some site, how do you protect yourself? I actually worry that one day I will wake up and my online brokerage account will say $0.00 and I will have no recourse. So here is what I do
- I have Equifax credit monitoring (That’s a big LOL now)
- I pull my credit reports every several months
- I save the actual PDFs from our brokerage and 401ks on a monthly basis and I also print them out every 3 months
