I think it's now fairly standard. It basically means 'ok, you may now be
subject to identity theft, so here you go, you keep an eye on things'.
However cynical I might sound (and be), I do recommend keeping an eye on
things;)
Anything major relating to your finances (eg someone applying for a loan
or credit card) should show up there.
Cheers,

Thanks guys. I believed that the data leak was true - it’s just the
signing
up to Experian I was unsure about.

I got the same email as I was a customer until I moved away over 4
years
ago. It seems quite legitimate and I’ve signed up for the free
Experian
identity service. The referral code you got in the email does work
for the
free year’s service.

Don't know about the Experian bit but the data breach looks on the

My water supplier Southern Water has contacted me telling me that my
personal details have been stolen from their servers. They then
advise me
to sign up to Experian (12 month free credit monitoring service).
I’m dubious. Does anyone have advice about what I should do?
