A friend called the number to ask this question. The response was that they will get back to him in 3-5 days. It might be best to talk to your bank and see if they suggest you close that account and open a new one.

All the information anybody needs to do an electronic transaction is on a check, so it's not like there isn't plenty of ways for this information to be obtained anyways. But, I don't like the fact that a known bad actor is known to have this information now.

FWIW, I have a separate bank account that I only use for officiating transactions (makes it easier for end of year accounting). I try to keep the balance low (around $1000...write a check to myself at the end of a season). If you are like me and have no choice but to work with Arbiter, you might consider something similar. At least it limits your exposure.
