    i've had a couple of gym teachers call me some embarrassing nicknames. one called me ter bear. the other took the first 4 letters of my last name and added dog. to it and since it rhymes with a body fluid people started calling me that with the dog. so i wasn't happy about that.

    i use software like photoshop,paint shop pro,paint, etc. i do a google search for the pictures i'm interested in and then go from there. i don't try to use screenshots unless i really like it and it's good resoultion. i mostly use photoshop to make my design the size i want so i could make it 1024X768 i or whatever size if i wanted to.i can also resize things to my interest. if you'd like i think the one ds9 design i made it is something you might like not sure on the size. i will send it to you later. if you'd like?

    Subject: Fraudulent Websites for Hurricane Katrina Victims

     

     

    NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CYBER SECURITY AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE COORDINATION CYBER INFORMATION BULLETIN

    DATE ISSUED:

     

    September 1, 2005

     

    SUBJECT:

     

    Fraudulent Websites for Hurricane Katrina Victims

     

    OVERVIEW:

     

    We have received information indicating that Internet domain names are being created that could be used to lure unwary users into visiting potentially malicious web sites.

     

    BULLETIN:

     

    Relief and charity efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina began immediately after the hurricane devastated the Gulf Coast area. Shortly thereafter, web sites began to appear which were designed to defraud unsuspecting users. Some of the activities include soliciting donations for seemingly charitable purposes, attempting to collect personal information through phishing scams and also spreading malware to unsuspecting users. Over the past few days, domain names that redirect users to malicious web sites have appeared online, in addition to email scams requesting donations for those impacted by the hurricane. While some of these sites and messages may be legitimate, many are not. At the time of this bulletin, please be aware that the following domains are reported to be suspicious:

     

    katrinahelp.com

     

    katrinacleanup.com

     

    katrinarelief.com.

     

    Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and additional domains may continue to appear.

     

    In addition to fraudulent web sites, opportunists may use this event as a vehicle for other types of online attacks. For example, email messages that claim to contain attachments with photos, video, or other information about Hurricane Katrina may actually contain viruses, worms, or other malware.

     

    RECOMMENDATIONS:

     

    We recommend that staff be advised to:

     

    Validate the relief fund or charity through a known reliable entity. Please refer to the FEMA link below for a list of reputable disaster relief resources for Hurricane Katrina.

    When a message containing a request for donations for these victims appears, do not respond unless you are certain it is a valid message.

    Avoid visiting untrusted web sites.

    Avoid opening email messages and attachments that claim to contain video, photos, or other information relating to relief solicitation for Hurricane Katrina.

    Follow standard best practices for email and web browsing security.
