ALthough this all seems FBI related, my advice to EVERYONE is to change all your internet banking, bill paying, etc. passwords and account numbers. I just went through all this a couple months ago. MY computer was acting up and showing high CPU usage and I didn't even have anything running. I gave my computer to a computer wize, and within an hour, called me and told me that there was some spyware that was a Trojan virus and it recorded all my keystrokes. So if I was doing anything with account numbers, they got them. I immediately call and canceled all open accounts, etc.
What he told me they would do is exactly what everyone is describing. Luckily for me, my computer was a little outdated and that is why is was actually obvious that something wasn't right to me. He also told me that if I hadn't had any charges to my accounts yet, they probably were holing onto the info to use at a different time down the road when the hype about the virus has died down. The virus was introduced to the internet September 30th and I had it by the 3rd of November.
Be careful, luckily I got to all my accounts before someone else did,,,,,,,,...........

Make sure your windows software is up to date.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
Download and run adawareAdaware download
If you have an antivirus update that and run a scan. If you have a any other spyware removal program update and run a scan.
People says its FBI. But do you purchase other items online as well? Phil does read the forums so I'm sure he will check out things on his end.

mine had nothing to do with fbi, but a few days ago my credit card company called because i haven't used the card in a couple years (just an emergency back up) & out of nowhere someone tried to charge $2990.83 to zonelabs.com (the zone alarm people). they never processed it & gave me a new account & card # & when i called zonelabs customer service, they said they don't even have any products worth that much!
