Phishing and Taxes: a dead CERT?

There's been a certain amount of excitement in the last day or so about ZeuS-related malware that appears to be sent by US-CERT and also misuses the name of APWG (the Anti-Phishing Working Group) in order to make it look more official and persuade victims to click on the malicious attachment.
