    I received the same email - automatically thought scam - little digging to see it was genuine - have now updated my password.

    Also received same email but left Sky few years ago. Have account with NOW tv for broadband, which I realise is Sky, but no problem signing in with original password using their app.

    I never click on the link or ring the number in the email.

    If I have a doubt, open a new window, type in web address myself and log in and view whatever I need to that way - 99% it's a scam.
    It's not.

    1) The number is a genuine number.

    2) The email refers to the sky.com website.

    If you use the genuine website and/or phone number then you will have no problems. Of course, don't click on any links, as these can redirect you to a fake website, but if you use the genuine URL you will be OK.
