is it possible to have one of those verification fields, where it says "type in the image you see" to help prevent this from happening?

I also received a message this morning that someone tried to log into my account 5 times unsuccessfully. I was not home at the time so called to ask my kids who was on my computer. LOL I told my husband about it and he checked the IP address and said someone from Romania or Bangladesh was trying to log in and hack my account. Anyway, I appreciated getting the notification. Disturbing!

I believe that my account HAS been hacked. My password has changed and I didn't change it. I also have my old email account attached to my account (which was ironically locked to hacking) so I discovered the issue when I was trying to update it today. I messaged Wendy. Hopefully, there's something I can do...
