HEALTHBEAT SHOW NOTES .... Episode #8 - Recorded September 4, 2005

Special HealthBeat Episode

Hello and welcome to this special edition of HealthBeat, Chiropractic OnLine Today’s health news and informational Podcast.

In this Special HealthBeat episode, we will look at some of the Health concerns that the recent Hurricane, Katrina, will impose on the Southeast portion of the United States .

For HealthBeat…. This is Dr. Todd Eglow

Computer Scams related to Katrina Donations

First, we begin with a word of caution:

Hurricane Katrina has spawned more than misery and destruction--a new wave of scam e-mails and Web sites are exploiting the tragedy.

Phony Web sites and e-mails, purporting to offer help to hurricane victims or provide more news on the destruction, are making their rounds on the Internet, according to experts from the Security firm Sophos.

One spam campaign that's circulating offers breaking news reports but tricks people into clicking a link that takes them to a bogus Web site. The site attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and install malicious code, including A Trojan horse, on a victim's.

HealthBeat presented some Computer Tips for Security and Privacy in Episode #6.
