BioDefense Corporation, producers of the new MAIL DEFENDER complete mailroom security solution, is on the front lines of combating bio-chemical assaults.

"Incoming mail containing white powder discovered on October 30, 2008 at the Boston Herald, Christian Science Monitor and more than 100 media offices across the country are not 'hoaxes.' Rather, they are 'bio-chemical assaults,' with obvious intent to harm, disrupt, or even kill," said a BioDefense Corporation spokesperson.

Reporters, editors, writers, bloggers and branch offices of major financial institutions are the bio-criminal's 'bull's eye.' The combination of a hotly contested election and continuing bad news about the global economy is partially responsible for this latest outbreak of assaults. Recent media tracking shows that coverage of "anthrax" and "white powder" hoaxes number in the thousands every week.

"MAIL DEFENDER, already hard at work at several high-level government and financial institutions, is the first line of defense against these criminal acts," the BioDefense spokesperson added. "A simple letter mailed for 42 cents should not have the power to disrupt and stop large organizations, unfairly tie up first-responder resources, and otherwise add to today's already anxiety-ridden environment," he said.

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

To combat this continual battering, BioDefense Corporation is now taking orders and shipping MAIL DEFENDER. The easy-to-use system is safe, proven, and kills any bio-pathogen, as well as 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 approximately 200 pieces of mail -- in a 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.
