However, the exposure to anyone and explicit acknowledgement of the existence of phishing issues on the TCA Eastern Div web site would dictate an immediate security fix, or shut down of the site by TAX ED until fixed.

The type of Flash hack is pretty common. If you ever get a notice from a site offering to upgrade your Flash player , do not do it. If you think yours is out of date go directly to Adobe and download it from them
