    Dear xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx,

    Today, Wednesday 25th August, the 'forgot password' facility on the CAO website
    was subject to a malicious attack. From 1am the attack caused the system to
    automatically issue new account passwords to applicants by email.

    We would like to reassure you that no application accounts were accessed and
    that the new passwords received from the CAO today were safe and secure.

    As an extra security measure we have decided to clear all passwords from the
    system and to issue you with a new password which you should use from now.

    We will be in touch with you again, and issue a statement in the media if there
    is any update to this matter.

    Again, we apologise sincerely for any inconvenience and thank you for your
    patience and understanding as we manage these malicious attacks.

    Your new password is xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Just got an email from the CAO saying the website was attacked again today, and thats why we all got emails from them this morning. I for one am getting very worried. Thats twice this week the CAO has been attacked!!
