Scams like these

[clifford]

I had an interesting experience yesterday.

Got a text message at 2:30 am with a code from Centrelink (I'm a pensioner). When I got up, later in the morning, I saw it and wondered why someone might be wanting to access my account, and where they might've got my password.

The password is now changed and thank goodness for 2FA. Perhaps this arose from a Centrelink security breach (which they're not telling us about). Otherwise, how would they have got my username (z.....) which is provided by Centrelink.
