MEDIA ADVISORY: BioDefense Corporation Sees Rash of "White Powder" Incidents at Reuters, New York Times, and Major Banks as Real Bio-Chemical Assaults, Not "Hoaxes"

Market Wire, October, 2008

Booth # 1783, International Security Conference/East , Javits Center -- BioDefense Corporation ( http://www.biod.com ), producers of the new MAIL DEFENDER complete mailroom security solution, says, "incoming mail containing white powder discovered at Reuters, the New York Times and major financial institutions are not 'hoaxes,' rather they are 'bio-chemical assaults,' in which intent to harm, disrupt, or even kill was evident."

"The event that almost brought chaos to the Reuters New York headquarters newsroom, October 27, 2008, was a bio-chemical assault," said a BioDefense Corporation spokesman. "Reporters, editors, writers and even bloggers are in the bio-criminal's 'bull's eye' since they can affect public opinion, especially during this hotly contested election, and continuing bad news about the global economy.

"Unfortunately," the spokesman added, "these very vulnerable people are simply not being protected. For example, BioDefense Corporations' MAIL DEFENDER was actually on loan to Reuters New York as a demonstration unit, but the company's executive in charge of security felt it did not meet their requirements. Had it been in service on Monday, October 27th, a simple letter mailed for 41 cents would not have idled more than 140 reporters for over three hours, costing this important news organization to untold millions of dollars. The New York office is the headquarters of Thomson Reuters, the parent company, and the newsroom is the firm's second largest after London."

Bio-chemical assaults happen continuously -- MAIL DEFENDER is a tested, proven solution

To combat this continual battering, BioDefense Corporation is demonstrating MAIL DEFENDER at ICS/East, October 29-30, 2008. The easy-to-use system is a safe, proven disinfection technology that kills anthrax, smallpox and/or ricin -- all very dangerous substances.

MAIL DEFENDER is an innovative combination of electronic energy, stainless steel and aluminum hardware, and advanced computer technology that processes up to 200 pieces of mail in a 45-minute disinfection cycle. The system combines Microwave and infrared energy, intense ultraviolet, and broadbeam light. A rotating barrel containing the incoming mail ensures even distribution of the energies during the decontamination process. A complex computer algorithm controls the energy sources and automatic safety features deliver ideal, controllable performance.
