Folks,
A word of advice to anybody, based on hard (and uncomfortably) won experience, don't send anything by email, that you don't want on somebody's front page, next day. We wuz hacked -- an Association server.

I always take some basic precautions re. defo., in any email that mentions anybody else --- again as a result of experience ---- no such thing as a "private" email.

To anybody who thinks I am teaching you to suck eggs, not my intention, just relaying one of my personal experiences --- and there are some very smart hackers "out there".

I am surprised that AVM(Rtd.) Skidmore didn't know this, or let his guard down on this occasion. Even a 128bit encrypted VPN is not immune. He has not done himself any favours, as his Minister will, no doubt, advise him.

I would not be in any rush to blame "the usual suspects".

Tootle pip!!

PS: in RCAs/NCNs/whatever they are called this week, one CASA spelling is "anticasaist".
