"Christopher Faulkner, president and CEO of CI Host, a Dallas-based Web hosting and data management company. said that since the disaster struck nearly two weeks ago, there have been more than 1,000 domain names registered containing the terms Katrina or Hurricane Katrina. Most of these domains are either used to set up malicious Web sites or are being auctioned off to bidders for a prices of as much as $50,000. "Hurricane Katrina has a lot of people glued to their televisions and their PCs wanting to help. They have their guard down and they are clicking on e-mails thinking they’re donating to a good cause, but in reality it's not going anywhere near New Orleans," Faulkner said." Source: sapinfo.net
