Hi folks,


Last night I'd signed in to Skype, not used it before & I noticed a name/series of characters in a side menu, which I thought was odd but as one of my contacts has received two phishing emails from my number this afternoon I'm now thinking that this is related to the security issue.


I have been in touch with O2 as service provider, but the best they can tell me is that someone will look into this & get back to me within the next ten days.


I have scores & scores of contacts & am really concerned that they too may receive phishing texts & links purporting to be from me - I'm very worried about this!


Has anyone else had this experience &/or can anyone advise please on what I should do?!
