Re: Security

Hi Tomanyissues,

Thank you for reaching out to us in our community and welcome, have you removed the 2 devices not checked to see if you are still getting the same message?

Regards

Paul.

Re: Security

I would also add that both fire stick/cube are used with a VPN...as are my phone's...and computer...but when I got the last "gamut" security message my daughter was on the computer printing things for work and didn't have the VPN on...

Re: Security

If you have followed the steps outlaid in the email to do the scans etc and nothing has been found - I would continue to use the service as normal. 

 

Cheers, 

Ryan.

Re: Security

Hi @Tomanyissues thanks for your further reply.

Regarding emails being blocked, is this from either a NTLworld.com or Virginmedia.com email address? If so, please kindly reset your password on these email addresses to a brand new and unused password - this will help with any potential breach on the email address too and stop this being blocked.

Many thanks
