Instructed by who?

 

Assuming you mean a 'man in the middle (MITM)' attack, the chances of actually being targeted by any such thing is extremely small.

There's no such department which is directly accessible by subscribers.  You aren't going to get a general contact centre at this time of night, and I strongly suspect they wouldn't be any help at all.

I'd suggest you go through your employer's IT support mechanism.  Most likely it's a false alarm, but in the extremely small chance that it isn't they are going to want to know.
