Re: Broadband security
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.

Can you point me in direction of sky broadband security help ?
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.
