Beware of Haiti-Themed Fraud and Attacks!

zcache="2" sizset="47">

The terrible tragedy in Haiti is worthy of our thoughts, prayers and generousity. However, as is often the case with any incident that captures the attention of the multitudes, cyber-crooks are doing all they can to take advantage of the unsuspecting web browser looking for information of ways to help. There are a large number of domains being registered and parked relating to the disaster. Not all of these are malicious naturally however if we learned anything from Hurricane Katrina, this is a precedent to cynical scams attempted to exploit the generosity of the unsuspecting.

Scammers use a variety of means to drive traffic including promoting on social networks like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, paid advertising, and search engine manipulation. Security Research Firm Websense reported that search terms relating to the earthquake are leading to a rouge anti-virus program. Since you should already have anti-virus software installed, updated and running on your computer, cancel out of any suspicious alerts and run a scan using your own anti-virus software. Once on the site, attackers may also tempt users to download malware in the guise of video reports about the disaster.

Those looking to make donations will be well-advised to go directly to the web site of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The FBI has also posted an alert warning of possible charity donation scams. The IRS also maintain a list of tax exempt charitable organizations. This can serve as a check before venturing to make a donation..
