Re: Redirect to Rogue AV sites continues...said by mysec:However, I just tried the URL again from Google and a new rogue AV site is now being redirected: ... This is not a remote code execution exploit, rather, a Prompt-to-download dialog box ultimately appears, requiring user action in order to become infected: Wish I could get my hands on whom-ever is pushing those to infect people. It seems to me that for these to appear so high on the Google searches it takes someone pumping the particular ?q= crafted links into the search engine. Otherwise Google would have just linked to the site without that URL query phrase. I got the same bogus infection warning with the one shown in the image. (Don't go there without protection & awareness) In that particular case, the fake AV warning stems from their site JavaScript 'sciencefirst.com/?red=haiti-earthquake-donation', which then leads to badware site 'thewarefree.com'. Or it sends Mac users to 'zml.com'. |

One has to wonder how many reports Google has to get via their Safe Browsing Report Page before they decide to pull the links out of the top returns. Or maybe Google has lost control of their monster and they can't really do anything about it. NV |

Re: Be very careful if you plan on donating Haitisaid by Noah Vail:said by DownTheShore:Catholic Relief Services got the nod this time because they already have a big presence within that country. I'll third that. Catholic Charities is the premier organization for performing good works in the world. I hold them in high regard. NV When the Cathedral fell, it killed the Archbishop, and he had over 100 nuns and priests in there with him. They were having a conference at the time...it doesn't look good. Pic of the former Cathedral: » twitpic.com/y63n5If you want to know the real status of things there, check out » twitter.com/georgiap/liv ··· om-haitiIt's a listfeed of many Twitterers on the ground in Haiti. They had two new after shocks in the last couple hours, bodies are everywhere still. What you see on the US news isn't 20% of the reality. Prolly best coverage: » edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS ··· i.quake/Real pics: » www.gettyimages.com/Sear ··· 20DupouxWarning, It's not pretty...but those images are the media-friendly ones still...there are much worse. It's like a nuke went off over there. Google has a page for donation links and info: » www.google.com/relief/ha ··· thquake/ |

I don't know about the States, but here in here Europe, most countries have their own respected organisations which they can trust (as far as trust goes), Nobody should ever donate to some website they have never heard of. |

From the article title: "Be very careful if you plan on donating Haiti" Remember folks, not everyone can handle a half-island nation. Please, please, please, be very careful who you donate Haiti to.  |
