Has anyone else received a request to change your password? Can't decide if it is genuine 🤷

It sounds very suss to me. I would email HU - support@healthunlocked.com and ask, although it's the weekend now and they probably won't get back to you until Monday/Tuesday. In the meantime, I would ignore it for now and see what happens.

It doesn't seem genuine. It happened to someone on the atrial fibrillation site too. HU are aware of it

If you are every asked to change a password the best thing to do is not click through on a link but to go directly to the website. And change your password! Passwords should be changed regularly anyway and whether this is a phishing attack or genuine, you can use it as a good excuse to change your password.

But always, don't click on links in emails, go directly to the website, and check the URL (the address of the website) to make sure it is the right website.

I'd phone your bankDo a security scan

Turn of all your devices for a little while

There's a small chance you may have a bug for wot ever motive

Specially clicking a link

Then upto your self to change all passwords

Healthunlocked maybe should have put a post on all the communities as it's widespread over Healthunlocked

I would delete it if you weren't expecting them to contact you especially anything to do with passwords etc.

I haven’t had one so probably a scam or we would all be told about it. Just delete it.

Thanks for all the responses. I deleted the message without clicking the link. There are so many scams these days you cannot believe anything.

Not what you're looking for?
