Oh great. Just had an email from LNER saying they've had a security breach. Name and email address. They say no passwords but ........... And that you may get more phishing emails.

Breaches are a prime reason to
  • Use a password manager
  • Use a unique password per site

This way if they did steal passwords they can't perform a credential stuffing attack on other sites. Happens all too often.
