No matter the company, no matter the user-support dedication, it takes an unknown amount of time. There's an amount of human interaction they need to do with you that ties everything up. Even restoring/rollback is all human interaction based. That's an expensive manhour cost and they have to spend it.

Best thing you can do is enable two-factor. The tedium of it ensures an attacking vector can't take advantage of you. Make sure you're not lazy either by doing an auto push. Manually enter that number every time.
I myself just fell victim to a phishing scam - sent a whisper about a big gil giveaway, enter on the forums... I 1000% know better but I must have had my stupid had on today and fell for it. I have two-factor authentication enabled - OTP, I generate a token on my smartphone- but the hacker was so fast they were able to log me out and steal my gil before the token changed.

Just having two-factor authentication enabled doesn't protect you from being stupid. Only smartness and vigilance does that.

And I'll never fall for a scam like this again, but yes, I dayum well do feel incredibly stupid. Started the rollback process immediately and hopefully it won't take too long.
