Unfortunately, some fake donation sites have already surfaced and some of the security sites are working to shut these down. Please be on the lookout for email phishing attacks and contributions should only be sent to the official site below.

I'd like to thank SANS (Internet Storm Center) for highlighting this concern early to discourage fraudulent donations.

Even faster then for Hurricane Katrina, new domains are registered for the VA Tech shootings. Some of them are used for benevolent purposes. However, a good share of them are parked for auction and even used for fraudulent donations. We setup a page with about 450 different domain names that look suspect. If you have a few minutes, help us to categorize the domains.


Our family lives about 25 miles from the campus, and needless to say this horrific event has taken it's toll on me, my family, co-workers, community, etc.
