He did receive an automated message to his original email address saying the address on the account had changed. Krebs was then able to select the security question-answer response, set a PIN, and even asked if he wanted to lift a freeze on his file.organizations with account services need to enforce the use of multi-factor authentication or strongly suggest activating it for every user.
