For the past two months when I receive my online bill via email I cannot get into my account as I get a warning that hackers may be looking at my Telus account. Now I m finding I can't even get into my account within the Telus site. Over the past two weeks tried contacting support and as usual there are high call volumes. I s there anyone in our neighborhood that could contact me or give me a fraud number or something. Thanks

Is the message from Telus, and does it actually use the word "hackers"? Or does it say something like "your input may be viewed by a third party..."? Does this happen only on your computer, or on every device on WiFi and data? Have you tried your account from different networks?
Sign-in pages are easy to hack and therefore notorious for triggering security software to give you a warning that the page you're on can be seen by potential hackers, and while that's true, it doesn't mean hackers are present. Even this page right now is not secure, and my little icon tells me so.

Where exactly are you seeing this security warning about hackers? What steps do you take to get to it? The most you'd be likely to see is a mesage that the account is locked and to call to have it unlocked. That only happens if you or someone else enters the wrong password 5 times.

@Darlene1-- I hope it straights out for you. I mostly get third-party warnings on comment forms, like this one, and that's because the input is meant to be seen. Lol. But when Telus was redoing their account pages years ago I got third-party warnings on the sign-in page. Telus has been working on the site--my account pages are brand new!!!!--so maybe some things on some sectors aren't quite tweaked yet.
Happy Canada Day long weekend!!!
