[ga] Sasser Worm Disruption Growing - Seems yet again Telstra.com is one source of this virus..

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All former DNSO GA members other interested stakeholders/users,

 "Yet another [0]virus is [1]causing problems with Internet
Explorer. "Sasser, unlike a virus which travels through e-mails and
attachments, spreads directly from the internet."A removal tool can be
found [2]here."

  Seems Telestra.com is again one of the originator ISP's that many
or our members have tracked and reported to Telestra and the other
usual places..  No response from Telstra has yet been received...

Perhaps our fellow stakeholder/user, Paul Twomey can take the
lead and act in a responsible manner as an ex-Telstra employee/exec.,
and get Telstra off the dime and take appropriate measures to address
this worm from corrupting or damaging other fellow stakeholders?
