[AusNOG] qld transport contact

[Nathan Ridge]

Wow... so now hundreds or  thousands of people that are actually travelling
soon open the virus under instruction from virgin to do so, that's lazy,
they will be raped over this, they should have been much more explicit
saying only open the attachment if it is a pdf not zip or exe and make sure
you scan with an uptodate av program before opening.

Virgin have advised all of their employees to inform customers of the fraud
also so they must be getting hammered.

We have seen the same virgin blue spoofed ones for about 3 - 4 days now.

There's a jetstar one as well. Mail can be a bane.
