Preventing ACATS fraud in my Vanguard accounts - a **NON-UPDATE**

1) I have not called Vanguard to find out directly how to address this.

2) Others who have posted on this topic who have called Vanguard about this have found that Vanguard does not give a flying fuck.
I am not motivated to duplicate this experience personally.
Vanguard got an 800 number - feel free.

3) I emailed Jason Zweig, who writes the excellent "Intelligent Investor" column for the WSJ, to write a column about this.
Asked him how to protect my Vanguard accounts to guard against this.
Expressed my surprise that NYT scooped WSJ on this topic.

Edit:
My original post on this topic, titled
NYT Article - "Her Stocks Were Quietly Stolen From Her I.R.A."
