Subject: WICEN Vic: BEWARE: Malicious email allegedly from WICEN email 
system



WARNING to all members: I have just received a malicious email which 
supposedly came from WICEN Vic.  (It didn't).

This email, received a few minutes ago, had malicious content.

It was titled "[ vic.wicen.org.au ] WARNING The domain "vic.wicen.org.au" 
has reached their disk quota."

Message content included

"The domain "vic.wicen.org.au" has reached their disk quota.

The account currently uses 97.97% of its disk capacity.

You should follow the link bellow to auto extend your disk capacity for free 
as soon as possible in order to prevent the loss of any files and future 
emails. Use the Disk Capacity tool ......"

I have not copied the the rest of the email, including the link, because the 
link is MALICIOUS even though it looks like it is from WICEN.

If you receive a similar email, delete it.




Cheers,  John  VK3ZRX
