Couldn't Come At A Worse Time

Hey, FA! Guess what happened to me earlier this week.
I was informed that I was a victim of ID theft! Isn't that great?! </sarcasm>
There's a company called Certegy Checking in the Tampa, FL area. Certegy is a service provider to U.S. retailers (Wal-Mart and such). On Monday afternoon, I received a letter from them saying that one of their employees breached security and took the bank account numbers of many thousands of people and sold them to anonymous people in the Tampa area. The employee was caught, but he is refusing to reveal who he sold the info to.
Okay, so, why do I have to worry about this? Because the bank account housing my college fund was one of the thousands of accounts put in danger by this man!
Fortunately, the stolen account has been closed out and the money in it transfered to a new one. No money was missing, so I should count my stars.
