Harden Your Pension or Retirement Account

    Make any future attempt much harder — and check related identity exposure.

    What to do

      • Switch the fund and linked email to authenticator-app 2FA (avoid SMS where possible)
      • Change the linked email and phone if they were the entry point
      • Set 'verbal password' / 'no transactions over the phone' rules on the fund where supported
      • Place a credit freeze and report identity theft to your national authority (IDCARE / FTC / Action Fraud)
      • Notify the tax authority — pension-fund compromise often pairs with tax-refund fraud
