Oyster hacked?
 

Oyster website forces everyone logging in to change their password -
is there a specific reason for that? Were they hacked? :-|

The process isn't exactly friendly either. When you try to log in, they send
you a temporary password by e-mail, which you then log in with again, and
have to change straight away to one of your choosing. The initial message
said something about a site upgrade. I notice that the site is now
oyster.tfl.gov.uk instead of oystercard.com.

I cut and pasted in my "new" password, only to have it rejected! I
then refreshed the screen only to be told I had now tried the new
password twice and was locked out. Message "please ring our expensive
help line to get it sorted" or words to that effect.

Stuff it!

Especially as I created false details and now I can't
remember them.

need of?)
