Hello,

I have been doing a lot of research on this email. I can confirm this is now a hoax. ICSTIS closed the number down on 29 Dec 2005 from the original scam. Despite a number of high profile websites who have been taken in by the new email warning, this should now be confined to "spam email" as there is no evidence that the original scam is up and running.

The ICSTIS press office are now actively advising local government and media websites to remove this warning
