Haiti: a more personal view

2 Replies

Further to Thursday’s blog on the Haiti situation at http://avien.net/blog/?p=349, Jeff Debrosse, ESET’s Snr. Research Director, has put up a blog at http://jeffdebrosse.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/haiti-info-and-update/ that includes some additional resources, as regards both help resources and security information resources relevant to the disaster.

On behalf of AVIEN I’d like to express our sympathy to Jeff, whose father is currently missing in Haiti, and our hope that he’ll turn up, safe and sound, very soon.

Can I also point out that while I’m pleased to include pointers to other resources, as I mentioned in a previous blog here, I do need to be able to verify them? Sorry!

Haiti-Related Resources

Help resources, mostly: blogged at http://www.eset.com/threat-center/blog/2010/01/14/haiti-help-resources because there was an issue re security blogging in general to which I wanted to add my 2 cents.

If you have additional resources you’d like to see added, mail me at dharley [at] eset.com. Here are the resources listed in the blog above right now (I’ve been updating them as I’ve seen them come in.)

That first resource includes a long list of contact information for legitimate organizations working in or for Haiti. It also includes some recommendations from the FBI via MSNBC for avoiding being scammed or worse by bad actors.

Update: Tom Kelchner includes some resources for self-protection in the modestly entitled blog at http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/best-advice-on-avoiding-haitian-relief.html.

The ESET blog has also been updated to include those and other resources.
