[74-911]

This morning, an email from Vanguard displayed the above in a big, red banner followed by text informing me someone had tried to logon to my wife's Vanguard account with an incorrect password multiple times and they had disabled access to the account. After verifying the e-mail was legit I called the number in the e-mail and eventually reached a live person in support. They verified someone had tried 3 times to logon to her account at 3:20 A.M.

Per VANGUARD security: one of two scenarios were likely. Someone with a user name very similar to my wife's had made a typo in entering their username causing them to try to logon to her account with their password OR someone who had wife's username had tried fraudulently to gain access to her account . We have 2FA on the accounts so that should have prevented access even if they got past the password.

Per their recommendation, I reregistered her account under a new username and password.
Would really like to know which case it was but will never know ....

Anyway, that message will definidtely get your attention first thing in the morning !!
