A device using your internet connection may be infected with malware
Dear [ INFORMATION REMOVED],
We've been alerted that one or more of the devices you use to go on the internet is infected with malicious software (malware).We don't know which device, but it does mean your personal data and online financial transactions, including any credit card purchases, could be at risk.
This probably isn't your fault, but we do need you to make some changes now to ensure your data remains safe and secure.We'll help you do that.
How we found the problem
To protect our customers, we work with a number of not-for-profit organisations that gather information about internet connections that appear to be at risk of things like malware infections. On 19 February 2024, one detected that tinba , a piece of malware, was present on a device using your internet connection.
What to do next
We recommend using anti-virus software to scan and clean up your devices. There are a number of trusted anti-virus software options available if you don't have one already.
For help with this, please visit [LINK REMOVED]
As well as using anti-virus software, Web Safe is available for free to Virgin Fibre customers to help protect you against malware and viruses. Full details can be found by signing in to Your Account at [LINK REMOVED] and going to My Apps.
