[AusNOG] qld transport contact

[Sean K. Finn]

I thought PDF's were the PREFERRED delivery method of Malware these days?

By the way, I've been getting QANTAS ones too. Definitely a coordinated and targeted zerg rush of malware.

Considering the Zerg Rush style of tactic, I wonder where the origin might be?

PDFs are not exempted from buffer overrun & sandbox escape vulnerabilities.  End users should be advised not to open ANY attachments which they aren't expecting.
