NTLWorld email accounts potentially compromised

Hertfordshire Constabulary has received reports that NTLworld email account holders may have been hacked. 

Two common methods are via data leaks or if the account holder has entered their personal information on a dodgy website.

Herts Police Advice to concerned Letchworth residents is the following:

Use 3 random words to create a strong password for your email that's different to all your other passwords, to prevent criminals accessing your personal information.

Install the latest software and app updates.

Always use 2-Step Verification (2SV) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), where available, to protect your email account.
