I'm in SC, too, Momto5. Wasn't happy about the hacking notice from SC at all. Even got a few 'spam' notices about it with links to some spam site - I didn't open them. The good news is that my DH and I realized that we had never gotten our Federal and State income tax returns. We were traveling with 'grands' a lot in 2012, so just didn't think of it. Turns out that our electronically filed Federal and State tax returns didn't go through. Our accountant didn't follow up for a confirmation, so he missed it, too.
I never use a debit card. They are too easy to hack, and once your money is gone from your bank account, it's gone. Sometimes the banks will replace your money, but it takes them forever to "investigate" and decide to do it. Sometimes they simply refuse.
We did put credit freezes on our names with all three credit bureaus. Maybe they won't get hacked!!!
