It's no big secret that account hacking is starting to be a pretty substantial menace, and folks not taking proper measures to protect their "assets" are perpetuating this. Get an Authenticator. It's something along the lines of $7, and it'll protect the account that you pay around $180 a year for. If that seems an outrageous price to you, there are FREE Authenticator applications available via Ipod touch/Iphone. Absolutely free. Ie not $7, $0.
At this point, not having one on your account is akin to leaving your front door unlocked. Sure, the odds are you might never get robbed, even if you leave it unlocked. But, if the robber figures it out, he's gonna steal you blind. And if after the first time, you continue to leave it unlocked, hell, if I were him/her, I'd come back and take you to the cleaners everytime too. If you don't protect your account, you're asking for trouble, and subsequently forfeit your right to complain about it.
