Yes, I actually read that, but didn't remember the fact and the
company's name more than four weeks ago. Since the text in the E-Mail
is very generic, everyone could have sent this mail by just browsing
the IETF participant list and harvesting mail addresses. I was merely
suggesting that the VMC company may include more specific text that
looks less suspicious, e.g., putting the right registration number
and a hint that they are authorized by the IETF secretariat/AMC.
Also a simple hint like: "As already announced in your earlier
purchase confirmation receipt ..." could have been helpful.
Sorry, but many successful infections these days are exactly crafted
like in this VMC mail with an attached malware PDF...

Regards,
 Roland
