Should I move my checking/ savings from my credit union? Should I move my investments from Schwab? Should I move to different institutions or what can I do to protect ?

I mean, unless you're going to pull it all out in cash, then convert it into something that's more stable, you can't do anything.

Switching banks and services just means that you'll have spent time.

Seriously, if someone has access to your banking info and can use it for harm because they've infiltrated the government, why would switching banks do anything? They'd just have the nee information later the same day
