Businesses in the Coleraine, Ballymoney and Ballycastle areas are being warned of a potentially destructive email scam.

Detectives from the PSNI's Cyber Crime Centre say a phishing (fishing) scam contains a link designed to download malware.

They say businesses should be cautious when opening email attachments in general, but specifically if they are sent a document entitled, ‘Payment_Secure.

Business owners are being advised to make sure employees are also aware of the scam.
