Web site was simply inaccessible yesterday. This morning all you can get to is:

Due to an incident involving the “FinCEN QuikNews” e-mail service, www.fincen.gov , a public website of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is unavailable at this time. Please check back soon as we plan to make the site publicly available in the near future. We will also post updates on the incident involving the FinCEN QuikNews service as information becomes available. We sincerely regret this incident and any inconvenience it may cause.

There is also an UPDATE at the bottom of that page. Please read it. No personal information was compromised, but they do not intend to use the list again.

Site's up.

Does this mean there iwll be no more Fincen email alerts?

While we anticipate reinstituting a notification service in the future, it will not be done using the current mailing list, therefore it will not be necessary to unsubscribe from the system.

At least not as "Quik News." I have no doubt they will develop a replacement service of some kind, but it may be necessary to re-register when they roll it out.

Doh, it would probably help if I really read the thread...

Thanks, Ken...

I think that if you read the email you would figure out that it's not blood, its oil

Have they developed another email service yet? Do we need to re-register? I've looked over the FinCEN site but can't find anything.
