Anybody else get this email today?

You are being contacted because at one time you registered with the Certified Federal Surveyors Program web site, CFedS.org.

Early this morning, we discovered the CFedS.org web site was attacked and breached. We immediately initiated an investigation with the web hosting company, and are working with them to discover the nature and extent of the attack. We currently do not believe the attackers accessed any of our user's personal information. However, as a precaution, we are notifying everyone who has registered with the site of the attack.

I'll need to check it when it gets back on-line - maybe I forgot to pay my $40 renewal...:-S

Does this mean that some fake "paden cash" or "Rankin File" may be posting to BeerLeg? We'll have to watch for clues.
