Disturbing spam received today uses the the language of homeland security and currency manipulation to get you to log your identity information into an insecure site (the link claims to be pointing to www.fdic.gov but via HTML link formatting in fact points to a numerical IP address and port number - 211.191.224.108:3180 - presenting the false web address as a pseudo username with a forced linebreak to hide the actual destiantion).

I wonder if it's targeted at recipients of the Nigerian-scam spam who might be afraid their bank accounts have been somehow compromised?
