OAGITM Members:
There has been a lot of mediocre coverage of this issue in the news
media lately - hopefully the attached bulletin will give your
organization the facts it needs to evaluate this threat.

All,
In November 2011, a group of six Estonians and one Russian were charged
with creating/operating the DNSChanger malware used to engage in wire
fraud. The malware may have prevented users' anti-virus software from
working correctly allowing the malware to take control of the computer's
domain name system (DNS). DNSChanger malware enabled Internet requests
to be forwarded to rogue servers instead of legitimate ones. Attached
is a bulletin issued by the DHS National Cybersecurity and
Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) which provides further details
and recommended actions for users to take. This bulletin is approved
for widest distribution.
