---- Excerpt from blog post -----
But why time these attacks to dips in the market? Sherstobitoff
suspects that the bad guys are preying on the fear and uncertainty
financial difficulties cause. "People might be more likely to think
that they can't afford to be a victim of identity theft when the
market is down," he tells us.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior in their environment? Thanks.
