The access to certain accounts had to be locked.
Hi,
We detected and fixed a security issue on our website. The password of certain users may have been compromised. For security reasons and as a precautionary measure, it was necessary for us to lock the access to certain Fizz accounts. We contacted the concerned members by email to inform them of this situation, and what they had to do next. If you haven’t received an email from us regarding this issue, then this means everything is OK with your access.
Security is our top priority. We, therefore, responded quickly and are taking this very seriously. This will not impact services such as calls, texts or data nor any other element in the account of these members.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. We recommend you change your password on a regular basis to ensure its safety. The same goes for all your other online accounts, and you should also make sure to use a different password for each one of them.
The Fizz team

I didn't get an email about this specifically, but I did have my account locked yesterday which has since been fixed. I guess I should change my password anyway, but there's been no mention of this to me in any of my communications with customer service.12

Hey Dominic,
If you didn't receive an email you're good no changes needed - however, if you feel the need to change or update your password - there is nothing wrong in doing so

Can you please confirm if the compromised passwords were in clear text or they were hashed. If they were hashed what type of hashing did you use.5
