Page last updated at 10:30 GMT, Monday, 13 February 2012

Ticketing agent TicketWeb says it is investigating an online attack which 
saw an "unauthorised party" contact their customer database.

Customers were sent "up to" four emails on Saturday 11 February asking 
them to click on a software update.

They say customers' credit card information was not "vulnerable during the 
attack".

TicketWeb has contacted their customers asking them to "not to click this 
link" and "delete" the invitation.
