SCAM - "YOUR ID WAS STOLEN"
===========================
Several staff have received emails stating that their ID had
been stolen and fradulently used. The email contained instructions
to click on a link for information on coping with the "crisis".
This scam is an attempt to use shock tactics to get users to visit
a website, which will attempt to install a trojan on vulnerable
computers. The website has been disabled. Please remind users not
to click on links in suspicious looking emails.
