Discusses a malware that was spread to several hundred thousand
computers before the FBI caught the hackers who made it.
This malware makes it so your computers information that is projected
through the internet has to go through a server these hackers ran(to
try and explain this in simple words), it has to do with DNS being
changed.
The FBI has control of this server, and has for a long time, but they
are planning on turning it off on Monday, when they do this, if you
have this particular malware, you will no longer be able to connect to
the internet. The process you would have to go through to fix this
problem after Monday and get back online will be arduous.
The FBI directs people to this website http://www.dcwg.org to check
if you have the malware.
Through that website they link you to http://www.dns-ok.us/ which will
check your computer for the malware. IF you do have the malware, there
is information on removal on the above site.
Anyway, just a friendly/concerned blog appeal to you guys to check you and
and your friends/families computers.
You don't have to trust me on this, google search it, do research, but
it is better to be safe than sorry in such circumstances.
