WhiteWolf Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 When the clock struck 12:01 a.m. ET today the FBI pulled the plug on the temporary Internet servers it set up to keep computers online if they were infected with a piece of malware called the DNS Changer. The pulling of the plug had the potential to leave as many as 250,000 worldwide without Internet access. How widespread was the problem really? If you're able to see this story, that should be a very good sign. Internet Service Providers (or ISPs), like Comcast, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable, have been working with the FBI since January, pinpointing those with infected computers and instructing them on how to remove the DNS malware. The DNS Changer, the FBI said, was created by overseas hackers who were arrested in 2011. The FBI provided weekly lists of IP addresses to the Internet companies and, in turn, the companies informed their customers of the issue and instructions on how to remove the malware. If you received no notification, and want to make sure your machine is not infected, you can check by clicking on this link, run by the DNS Changer Working Group, a team working on cleanup resulting from the malware. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/dns-changer-malware-monday-fbi-internet-service-providers/story?id=16740215#.T_sex5HiKM8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
