On the day (Saturday ) I received 150.00 support into the bank. I received a text about eligibility ffor more support from GOVUK... with logo. I ignored this for a long time then thought I'd clink to open it to see what it was about. It was then i noticed GOVUK not correctly GOV . UK and there was a spelling mistake in the first link rebateid not rebate . It was sent at 2am
I did not click on the link asking for details
I have informed Action Fraud
A reply came from O2 saying they would investigate
I changed several passwords for sensitive sites via laptop (not tablet which is my phone)
Removed apps to some sensitive sites -& others on tablet
Noticed a new account under mine - i think I ve deleted that
Added a PIN for lots of tablet apps as well as the method for openning the phone
I have ESET NOD 32 protection with phishing detection as well as virus and malware protection
What else can i do.? eg keep changing passwords . not use tablet.
I will phone ESET for advice as they can view my lappy and tablet but any words and warning to others
Im usually highly vigilant BUT when money came in from GOV and the text came shortly after I was partly caught out. BUT If iI'd been desparate for money I might have opened the 2nd link !!!
Is my laptop safe , my main usage, or is that at risk too. ?
