O2 account hack attempt?

Jin8 — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 16:04:39 GMT

Hi, I just received my an email saying my account has been locked, due to five failed login attempts, but I have not logged in for a while. Was someone trying to hack into my account? I have just changed my password.

Hopefully you didn't follow a link from the email?

If you did, log in here and change it again.

No, I did not click on any links. Email was from noreply@o2mail.co.uk.

Your email and passwords may have been hacked from other websites (it happens often).

You'd be wise to change all your passwords for sites that use the same email address.
