His details have been changed so cannot get in. Help telephone number not working as we are abroad. Help chat not helpful, does not appear to be any live chat linked to a sky employee. Help urgently needed

His user name won't have changed, so he may be able to get around it by choosing to reset his password at login, depending on what the hacker has changed.

That still doesn't mean he has been hacked as it could be a spammer is sending ouyt emails to make it look like they are being sent by him as this is something to do.

As I asked before what happens when he tries to access this link:

https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email/

It does sound like his account has been compromised.

Is he still able to log in here: https://www.sky.com/myaccount/my-details, if so he can set a new security question and answer.
