I received a text messaging purporting to be from o2 stating that they had been unable to take payment from my bill and without thinking logged in. I quickly realised this was a fake site and so logged into the real o2 site and changed my password, and have scanned my phone with antivirus software. Is there anything else I should do? Thanks.
You'll be fine with changing your password @BobbyJ
In fact if you didn't enter any info, that probably wouldn't have been necessary but better safe than sorry.
If you did enter any bank details, you should also notify your bank.
