Title: GWR customer accounts hacked - passwords to be reset
Post by: TonyK on April 11, 2018, 20:40:05
Or so it seems. I received an email this morning, seemingly from GWR, saying that all passwords need to be reset. Someone, and no-one is naming names (yet) improperly accessed 1000 or so accounts. Thing is, I trust nobody online these days other than here. Is it true?

Your suspicion is correct but it is true.  See this thread:

I had an email this morning too, though it didn't mention how many accounts had been accessed.

I have just tried to reset mine, but the system is down. Probably more websites than usual needing repair.

Edit: Now sorted. I'm glad I'm not trying to do it in a hurry on my "smart"phone.

I also had problems resetting mine but it went through eventually.
