Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center 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.
