Someone is attacking my financial accounts and social media.

In the past two days, multiple unsuccessful attempts have been made to log into my IRA brokerage account, my cell provider account and two other financial accounts, and I'm assuming the same person/people have also successfully hacked my Facebook account and my spouse's iCloud account on Apple. Thankfully, she kept nothing on the cloud.

Vanguard alerted me this morning, and now all web access has been locked. Only voice recognition will open my account and only my phone will work to access it. Their fraud department is investigating. I'm working with the other companies where failed logins occurred to secure the accounts. I'm spending the rest of today checking every online account I have, no matter how insignificant, changing passwords and looking for evidence of compromise.

Have any of you been personally hacked? Do you use security software? Do any of you use password-managing software? Any wise words of wisdom?
