I understand that does not solve your current situation, but is a suggestion going forward. Shit will get hacked, fact. And we can’t rely solely on vendors to protect us. It’s crucial that we take the steps necessary to protect ourselves - hard passwords, dual authentication, etc. I had to learn that the hard way. Most times that’s how we learn. Good luck
What is this dual authentication you speak of, sound great. I had my PayPal hacked a few years ago. Luckily we only keep a few grand in it and did get it back.
