Today, I posted an article on the Internet Storm Center about the fact that sometimes domains are parked and used for malicious use when a disaster occurs.
Domains like haitiearthquake2010 and haitiearthquakerelief and various names like that.
Well, because this is of such a large concern, I was contacted by no less than 5 news organizations today. Newsweek, ABC news, CBS news, SCMagazine, and Foxnews.com. All wanted comments and news about the Haitian disaster and the monitoring that we have taking place in order to protect people from getting scammed.
A couple of the articles I was mentioned in can be found above at my "in the media" link.
I think it's great that news organizations are taking an interest in protecting the World against these predators.
Always remember, the safe bet is to donate money via an outlet like redcross.org.
Please donate.
