The Guardian link works for me, Jan.

Here is some info from StaySmartOnline:

http://www.staysmartonline.gov.au/alert_service/alerts/fake_electricity_bills_target_australians,_links_to_cryptolocker_ransomware_sso_alert_priority_high

or

The Guardian has more advice here:

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/02/how-to-avoid-cryptolocker-ransomware-virus

but fails to mention that Crypto Locker only affects Windows machines.
