At 5AM this morning, my phone started blowing up with notifications for codes confirming my password resets for Venmo, followed by password resets for my google account, and then a notification from Verizon saying my Verizon messages account was being accessed from a location from the other side of the country. This all happened in a span of about 5 minutes. Fortunately I was already awake at this point, and I quickly got on the computer and was able to log into all my accounts and change the passwords and confirm I was not the one making the changes. I got email notifications that 2 bank accounts from a bank I don't even use had just been attached to my Venmo. I immediately removed them from my account. Besides the 2 bank accounts that had gotten attached to my Venmo, it doesn't seem like anything else was compromised. I'm still a bit shaken though and am worried there may be more to come. I haven't been able to get in contact with any support because of the time. What steps should I take now to keep myself safe?
