16.10.12 Incident Alert:
We're aware of a computer virus being distributed via an unsolicited email which has been designed to look like it's been sent by BT Business Direct. These emails mimick the layout of an 'order confirmation' or 'notice of delivery' email and typically contain an attachment. If you haven't placed an order with BT Business Direct and were not expecting a confirmation email, then please ignore the message and delete it. We can confirm that no transaction has occurred and no goods will be despatched. **Please do not open the attachment as it contains a virus which may harm your computer**.
