If you receive an email with the subject Notification of probable compromised website (AusCERT you should investigate further.
One of the services AusCERT provides is to let site owners know if their site has been compromised. A very common approach for malware distribution is to hack sites and use other people's sites to distribute malware. A notification from AusCERT is worth taking seriously and investigating further.
In this case we were asked to confirm whether an email from AusCERT was legitimate or a fake. We found the site had been compromised and action was required.
Keep in mind it is always possible for malware writers to pretend to be from AusCERT, so you should exercise caution with such emails
If you are not confident, you should contact a suitably skilled computer professional to assist.
