I’ve just had a scam call from 02036300793, I knew immediately what it was. After a little banter the caller hung-up which was not unexpected. However, a very short time after I had a text message with an 8 digit two factor authentication code which I didn’t generate myself. Now I suspect this was generated by the scammer somehow but wonder how. My password is very strong and unique to my BT account. I used to work in IT security so all my passwords are very strong and unique to each account, so how could this scammer generate a two factor code without my password. Just a tad concerning; still the password has now been changed just to make sure. Interesting also that the two factor code text message only states, “If you didn’t request this , don’t worry, but you might want to change your password”. Why “might”, surely this suggests the system may generate text messages without the correct password! Food for thought.
