PC ‘hijack’ threat a rude awakening A MT MARTHA woman was lucky not to be scammed last week when she received an email from what looked to be her power provider. Sandra-Lyal Dennis, 72, said the email, purporting to be from AGL and with her correct name and account number, asked if she preferred to pay her quarterly power bills by the month. If she did, the email requested that she move her cursor to an area on the screen where she could download pictures – but it was a trap. The download would have exposed her PC to a ransomware attack. “Fortunately, I didn’t download the pictures,” Ms Dennis said. “I rang AGL and they said it didn’t sound right. They warned me that it was a virus that would
hijack my PC and I would have to send the [scammers] money to unlock it. “I rang my daughter and she warned me that there were scams going around and to be very careful.” The real AGL sent Ms Dennis a letter warning of a surge in attacks through the Cryptolocker virus and its different strains. The letter included an image of a message that pops up after the system is compromised: “Warning: We have encrypted your files with the Cryptolocker virus”, and demanding a fee be paid to unlock them. “It was awful,” Ms Dennis said. “I would like to know how they got my correct name and account number. “The email looked so legitimate.”

Dolphin injury prompts warning A YOUNG, injured dolphin in Port Phillip has highlighted concern that boat users are flouting the law and getting too close to wildlife in the bay. The dolphin, less than one year old, was spotted about two weeks after it had lost part of its tail, probably from a boat strike. Department of Environment, Land and Water and Planning compliance officer Katie Knight said the dolphin was lucky not to have been fatally wounded. “These type of strikes are often fatal or severely debilitating and while it is great to see a marine mammal in its natural environment, a big lesson here is to be aware of and adhere to the rules and regulations that protect our precious wildlife,” she said.

Recreational boats must remain 100m away from dolphins and 200m from whales, except if approached. High impact vessels like jet skis must stay 300m away from whales and dolphins. Ms Knight said people who came across dolphins, whales or seals should reduce their speed to five knots or less, and avoid the animal. “We are concerned about this dolphin’s welfare and urge anyone that sights it to take a photo – from a safe distance - with location details and post it to the DELWP Port Phillip Facebook page facebook.com/DELWPPortPhillip,” Ms Knight said. A new sign highlighting the regulations was erected at Tyrone Boat ramp late last year. For more information, visit www.delwp.vic. gov.au or call 136 186.
