No big deal. That is just dire-sounding hype in an ordinary spam 
intended to sell web surfing anonymizing software, of dubious quality. 
It is targeting the lay-abouts who like to surf pr0n and gamble on 
company computers & time.

Other than the usual risks of unrestricted web surfing, I see no 
particular security threat here.
