Hi,

This might be a common thing and I haven't been hit yet, but I just got
an e-mail supposedly from WorldPay about a chargeback which says I could
check the transaction in the attachment - which suspiciously was a .zip
file. Inside the zip is an executable, so pretty obviously a virus. 

Otherwise the e-mail looked pretty authentic, so keep an eye out, or
more practically: warn clients if they're likely to fall foul of
something like this. The e-mail title was "[ORDER ID 0220712] WorldPay
Chargeback"

Cheers

Paul
