Don't go to unfamiliar websites to find such information because your workstation may get infected with malware or your identity stolen just by browsing the website without clicking on any links.  For more information about these events, only go to reliable, reputable sites where you normally go. Remember, Think Before You Click!

Also change the security questions and make the answer something non-obvious. Use a free password manager that can generate hard-to-hack passwords, keep and remember them for you. Watch out for any phishing emails that ...
