Data Leak Notification.

I have just received a notification on my phone telling me that several of my passwords have been exposed in a data leak.

These include personal accounts and two of my bank accounts.

What is going on?

If you saw this in Settings, Passwords then Someone leaked someone’s passwords somewhere and one of yours is the same word. May or may not be yours that was leaked.

Change them in the websites as you normally sign onto them.

BUT

If you saw this in a text or email it is probably a scam to phish your password. Be very careful not to tap on any links.
