It is PHISHING! DO NOT following the instructions in this email sent to various PAS members – it is a SCAM.

Earlier today there was an attack on a development website being used by PAS member George Crane. George is a very knowledgeable developer of websites. He created the development website for PAS to test some new capabilities with enhanced functionality that will lead to a new website replacing both our existing website as well as our membership database.

At the moment we believe that a small number of member email addresses were compromised. Almost minutes after the attack, these PHISHING emails were forwarded.

We are continuing to gather information about this attack and will be evaluating our security measures to counter similar attacks in the future.
