email from remoteassessment.com - scam or helpful email?
Has anyone else recieved the following email from remoteassessment.com? I've spent the last hour looking for any trace that the domain listed has been defaced, but I'm not seeing anything there. I'm wondering if remoteassessment.com is just a scam trying to get me to pay for a security audit or if there is a real problem that I'm just not seeing...
To whom this might concern;

This information is gathered from publicly available archives which list the systems which are hacked for statistical purposes. Remote Assessment monitors these hacking lists and alerts administrative personel as soon as possible to limit damage and exposure. Website defacement hackers often post the systems which they have attacked on public archive websites to 'brag' and gain _respect_ in the hacking/hacker community.
