Question Bugbear from Airservices?

Just wondering how many people received the Bugbear virus from being on the Airservices Australia mailing list?

Thats not the way it works.

Someone who has your email adddress in their address book is on the Airservices mailing list has their machine infected, or is on a network with an infected machine.

The virus sent you an email using an old email message in their mailbox, and re-addressed it to you, and added a virus.

The from address in the virus message is bogus.

Very nasty.

Guys,

Its frustrating I know I recieved one from Telstra two weeks ago, the day before it was on the news, and just got another one today from someone I don't even know.

It sucks really.
