No its not just Halifax, I get them as well from my bank.

I did actually have an email from a bank today, looked really quite genuine, said my account security had been breached and to log in using the link. Pressed the link to see what happened, and it took me to the homepage of my online banking, was exactly the same as normal, even had a warning about phishing email. Only probloem was the http address was completely incorrect. Very cleverly done though.

Although banks do send emails, never EVER log into your account using an embedded link from the email
