I don't know who Global Security are, but they've lifted
entire passages from the USGS, the Pacific Tsunami Warning
Center, and US AID (and maybe other sources) without
attribution. See, for example:

http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_slav_ts.html
http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/wmsg
http://www.usaid.gov/locations/asia_near_east/tsunami/

Since those pages are from U.S. government agencies, they
are probably not copyrighted, but it's still way tacky to
use their text without crediting it.
