Apparently the Wisconsin Unemployment system was hacked.

Somebody logged into my account, filed a claim, and changed the bank account. I received a couple of things in the mail from them but I ignored them since I was working and hadn't filed a claim. The other day I tried to log in to get a copy of my W-2 and I couldn't get in. Apparently when the hack was discovered, their IT department deleted my account.

I asked if I were the only one, and they said no, there were a lot of people. Nothing was paid out from my account.

Change your passwords. Hackers are everywhere.

Go in person to Job Services offices and get this fixed: IN PErSON.
Don't rely on a phone call... bring legal ID docs so they can coy them.
Fill out forms, as they will be needed.

Take the small amount of time to fix something that vould affect you for years and fix this in person.

Knew someome in same boat. The in person fix was what they did and it blocked alot of future mistakes from even happening.
