DNSChanger Trojan Still Prevalent In 350K Computers

Last year the FBI and international police participated in an operation called “Operation Ghost Click” in which a group of Estonian hackers had distributed various DNS changing programs around the internet. According to VPNReviewz CEO Michael Maxstead, the bots distributed would change the users computers DNS settings, and all the users DNS solutions would be served by the hackers nameservers. DNS servers that, “would send the user to websites that would then install scripts to essentially strip the computer of all personal data.”
