What to do
- Expect more phishing emails that mention this service. Do not click links in them; go to the site directly.
- Be wary of texts and calls that seem to know your details.
- Check your bank and card statements, and ask your bank about a new card if you see anything odd.
- Consider a credit freeze or fraud alert with the credit agencies in your country.
- Turn on two-step verification wherever it is offered, and use a password manager.
