Mr. Wallace,

You seem to be crafting a highly skilled act of social engineering.
Its meaning and intent must have extensive global reach. Why are you

* There wasn't originally a threat in reality, but you can be sure
* they've just created a threat by talking up the attack vector of XSS
* worms on social network sites.
