-
If your BA account password is one you use elsewhere, change it on all the accounts where you use it. As a general rule, password re-use is not recommended.
-
Attackers may use your personal details to target you with emails, texts and calls. As always, be suspicious of unsolicited requests for your personal or financial details.
-
If your financial data was compromised, be vigilant on your bank accounts. If you notice any unauthorised transactions, notify your bank or card company.
-
If you have credit card information stored in your account on BA, cancel the card and request a new one from your bank.
