But it was not issued by the agency and has attachments and links that will download a virus that could steal passwords and account numbers, the agency said. “It’s a treasure trove for identity theft,” said David Torok of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.

High-speed connections that enable video sharing were a luxury, and the Internet’s total population hovered around 19
