Hi everyone,
I want to share with you the news of the day about DNS: Operation Ghost Click
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/11/malware-click-fraud-kingpins-arrested-in-estonia/
the main point is that they are using a trojan "DNSChanger" that changes the
infected system's Domain Name Server (DNS) settings, in order to divert traffic
to unsolicited, and potentially illegal sites"
https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/dnschang.shtml and they have affected more
than four million computers in over 100 countries.
More info are available here:
