Typically, they will send you a new "PIN" through regular postal mail. Until you receive and activate the new PIN, you will not be able to use any card that needs the PIN. So you may not have access to your account through electronic means, including ATM for cash or for any kind of debit card purchases (to name two examples).

Why did burglars attempt to steal information from the DNC headquarter?

If it hadn't been for an alert security guard on his rounds they may have gotten away with it. He saw a bit of masking tape on the door jam and found the burglars. Combined with information filtered about Nixon's involvement and the tapes from his office the whole story eventually came out and Nixon had to resign.
