Haggis Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) As many of you might already know, today is supposed to be the day that tens of thousands of people in the US could lose their access to the Internet. This is due to a malware program called DNSChanger, which redirected those infected PCs to rogue servers. The FBI actually shut down this malware operation some time ago, but kept the servers alive so those PCs with the DNSChanger program could keep their net access. Today, the FBI is supposed to shut down those servers. Estimates are that around 64,000 PCs in the US could be infected by the malware and as such their net access could be disabled once those servers go down. However, the Wall Street Journal reports that large US IPS have pledged to help their customers with DNSChanger maintain their Internet connection.
