And of course when you click of the link of the information page, it gets to a 404...
I got the same wierd email.
And can no longer access the app.

Update:
I was able to successfully change my password via a reset (the reset link went to the correct email address).

But I'm still receiving the following error

"Your account is temporarily unavailableWe have locked your account temporarily to keep it safe and secure. For more information please refer to the email or letter you received from us."

But the only email I have says the account is unlocked, with no links on it.

An interesting bug I haven’t noticed before.

When entering my Australian mobile number, and selecting Australia (+61) as the country code, after pressing save it then appears back as Christmas Island (+61).

Edited it again to select Australia, and upon saving it changed to Christmas Island again.

Does the same for US/Canada too (+1), enter US, saves as CA...

So, what does it mean that our accounts are unlocked? Is this in any way, do we think, linked to the recent data breach of staff details? I don’t understand email and really haven’t got the strength to deal with it today. Everything involving this airline is just becoming far too stressful. 😬🙈

I’ve just spoke to BA. I received the same email, successfully changed password but get the account temporary locked message. Agent said the account was unlocked but now locked again. There was a line saying to ask member if any contact details had changed so I assume it is something to do with a data breach. She said she would message the back office. I wanted to book flights using avios today as well!!

I’m in the same boat with this. Requested today, GGL team thought it would take 24 -36 hours to sort.

Glad to see BA's appalling IT continues - the mobile app (once again after a clearout of data) now lets me see my upcoming flights but not any account activity, yet the website shows me account activity but not any current bookings 🤦

BA’s IT failings are beyond a joke now - millions of lost revenue, thousands of customers totally fed up and every customer service representative you speak to makes it sound like this is the first incident they have ever heard of with regards BA’s IT. Pathetic.

Thought I'd ask the Twitter team - let's just say it wasn't exactly an amazingly insightful reply, consisting of "Sorry to see this, a timescale for a resolution wouldn't be possible" with no real recognition it's an issue, just "Use Manage My Booking on BA.com"...

SAW (Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport) is still not showing for Avios bookings, even thought the commercial bookings and a full timetable has been loaded

What itinerary are you trying to book? I can make a point-to-point Avios booking for LHR-SAW. Bear in mind the SAW flights don't operate every day. Also, it seems you need to type IST into the field and both SAW and IST then appear as options...
