BT

At the risk of beating a dead horse, BT has posted this on their website,

" At BT, we take the security of our customers’ data and information extremely seriously.

You may have seen that overnight Yahoo! announced that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from its company’s network in late 2014. Yahoo! is the provider of some of BT’s customers email accounts and we are urgently investigating this with them.

If you were a BT Yahoo email account holder in 2014 and haven’t reset your password since then, as a precaution we advise that you change your passwords online and follow good password management practices."

So most likely BT's yahoo provided accounts are compromised too. I'm off to find someone else to host my email.
