    So far I've had from Travelodge, Get the Gloss and Checkoutsmart for a Yeo Valley survey.

    I also received one of the Fortnum and Mason emails but I wasn't sure if it was a scam ..
    what do you mean by trustpilot?

    If I understand correctly, they 'host' surveys (which are sometimes just name, address etc) for entry into competitions

    Did you mean Typeform? I haven't heard of a problem from Trustpilot.

    Typeform hack emails from Fortnums, National Geographic Traveller and Evans Cycles so far.

    Noticed a slight increase in phishing emails in the past couple of days (28 million pounds from African fund, Fantastic business opportunity, PayPal/Amazon/Apple account needs verification etc)

    No financial details have apparently been disclosed but just watch what you respond to.

    I have had two data breach emails from Fortnum and Mason which I received a few days apart.

    Had two yesterday Get the Gloss and Fortnum & Masons- though the first one said they had told the ICO, F&M didn't mention that- or maybe I missed it.

    Haven't had any others.
