Interest in data from an email spike - 13:56
A few minutes ago in my work email I saw an email appear from the
ACT NTEU division. The surprising
thing about this email was they attached a 47 MB file to the email (they
really should have put a link to it and said it was a large download). Sure
if you are at work the size does not take long to download, however it is
rather bone-headed for any members to be given an email that size at any other
location. (once expanded with the attachment encoding it becomes a fair bit
larger anyway).
I can not find the department NTEU person to learn if there are any numbers on how many staff on campus are actually union members, nor can I get hold of the campus wide email system admin people so I can not predict how much this hit storage and network load on the email systems campus wide. I could do some analysis on the department email server, though I am not sure if that would provide much insight. As I suspect there are a fairly large number of union members on campus and they all will have received this email as it is valid email and will have come in through the spam filters.
