Did anyone else get an email from TFL about cyber security issues? Evidently their system was hacked and the hacker has been able to get their hands on customers personal information, including email, names, home addresses, and in some cases involving oyster cards, bank account information. I can’t find anything on the website, but I got an email about it.

There have been several e-mails since 1 September about it, but until today it was not believed to have affected customers, apart from some website data presentation issues.
Previous mails had concentrated on the back office problems caused.

That’s so weird. I swear I looked for another thread about this because I’d hoped I didn’t have to post and couldn’t find anything. Oh well, thanks for the information everyone!
