Just to flag up a warning to anyone who uses Co-op Energy as their gas/electricity supplier. We do, and this afternoon we have received two e-mails, purporting to come from them but obviously phishing for account details.

I have notified them, and asked them to confirm that their customer accounts have not been hacked. This appears to be targeted phishing, which rings alarm bells.

If you use Co-op Energy and find e-mails from any cooperativeenergy.coop address in your inbox, check that they are genuine before opening them.
