While I am with them I did not notice that at all, and I was expecting something worse from that headline like user name and passwords being lost. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Password and email combinations seen in those large breaches were then tried on the Tesco site and resulted in 2,239 hits where the same credentials were used.

I am so glad that I have a password manager. Every single one is different.

Yes I had that mail this morning. I thought it was a phishing attempt, but when I logged on I got the same message. Thankfully none of my passwords are the same so no risk for me of them using it elsewhere.
