FBI Friday: Malware – Is Your Computer Affected?
Aug 17
Malware is not something that most people feel able to handle on their own. A worldwide malware attack called DNSCharger was so pervasive that the FBI got involved. Today’s FBI Friday focuses on malware, how it can affect you, and what to do if you are affected by it.
Update on March 12, 2012: To assist victims affected by the DNSChanger malicious software, the FBI obtained a court order authorizing the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) to deploy and maintain temporary clean DNS servers. This solution is temporary, providing additional time for victims to clean affected computers and restore their normal DNS settings. The clean DNS servers will be turned off on July 9, 2012, and computers still impacted by DNSChanger may lose Internet connectivity at that time. |
