Last November the FBI discovered that a group of Internet hackers, using an online
advertising scam, had infected over half a million PC’s with malicious software.
The software disabled Antivirus software and set the users PC’s to use rogue Domain
Name Servers (DNS Servers) to translate valid URL’s, such as amazon.com, to IP addresses
for fraudulent web sites and bilking at least $14 million from victims. The FBI
shut down the rogue servers, but temporarily replaced them with government servers
that gave proper name to IP resolution to prevent Internet disruptions. In July
the government will be shutting down the temporary servers. To determine if you
have been affected and if so, how to fix it, go to http://www.dcwg.org.
