Day notes that the effectiveness of the attack may have been damaged by the HMRC's tarnished reputation for data security. "Recent high profile data loss incidents have left the public more vigilant about handing over information that has any link to HMRC, so this may not be the most thoroughly considered phishing attack ," he said.

Heart attack is caused by the blockage of a coronary artery by a thrombus (blood clot) or by atherosclerosis, a disease in which the arteries become clogged by fatty deposits that can rupture and obstruct the artery. Damage to the heart muscle occurs when the narrowed coronary arteries are unable to deliver the extra oxygenated blood needed by the heart during emotional stress or physical exertion (health.howstuffworks.com....ack-ga.htm)
A number of factors have been associated with an increased risk of heart attack , including diabetes and a family history of heart disease. Hypertension (high blood pressure ) increases the resistance in the blood vessels, forcing the heart to pump harder to push blood through the body . Smoking constricts and damages the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart muscle. Stress increases the oxygen requirement of the heart muscle (health.howstuffworks.com....ack-ga.htm)
Heart attack s may be very mild, signaled only by slight discomfort, faintness, and nausea. In very serious cases, a heart attack may be accompanied by cardiac arrest (cessation of the heartbeat) or ventricular fibrillation (degeneration of the normal , steady heartbeat to a useless quivering that prevents blood from being pumped through the body ).
