A Websense cég, az alkalmazotti internet-használat menedzsment megoldások piacvezetője, a mai napon jelentette be, hogy több helyről is információt kapott az Üdvhadsereg nevét felhasználó adathalász elektronikus levelekről. A levelek szerint az Üdvhadsereg a Katrina hurrikán károsultjainak javára gyűjt pénzt, de valójában minden levél egy Svédországban elhelyezett szerverre irányít, ahol bankkártya információkat próbál kicsalni egy csaló webhely a gyanútlan adakozóktól.

A Websense Enterprise tartalomszűrő rendszer a csaló oldalt biztonsági okokból már blokkolja.

Egy minta a többféle formátumban terjedő levélből:

Identified by author and management expert Peter Drucker as "by far the most effective organization in the United States," The Salvation Army invests the charitable gifts it receives in the lives of men and women and boys and girls.

"No one even comes close to it in respect to clarity of mission, ability to innovate, measurable results, dedication and putting money to maximum use," Drucker said. (Forbes, August 11, 1997).

According to the Army's 2004 annual report, approximately $0.83 of each dollar spent by The Salvation Army is used to fund direct services for people.
