Solve : Is your DNS sending you bad stuff?? |
|
Answer» This is a real security issue. It is not, per se, a virus, but it is one way a virus can GET into your system. I have tried to say before and everybody would say that it can not happen if you have a good firewall and a good anti-virus and if you are carefull. Not So! Look at this: Dan Kaminsky, who for years was AMBIVALENT about securing DNS, has become an ardent supporter of DNS SecurityI would put this in the News section, but then the people who NEED to know about it would never read it, It is about making your PC secure. Anti-virus and firewalls are not enough. The DENS you are using is another backdoor into your system, The anti-virus does not even try to verify the quality of your DNS. Related th that, Up to now people have thought that the SSL was all that it takes to stop a HACKER from getting into your system. Not with the high power servers that lie offshore. There are thousand of servers that are out of jurisdiction and they can do what they want with SSL certificates. Even with odds of one in a million, that is all that it takes when you have thousands of servers doing millions of spoofs in a short span of time. What I am trying to say is this. It is not getting BETTER. The worst is not all behind us. I know many of you do not believe that, you think the new anti-virus software can do anything. Not so! Don't t telo me this is an old issue. It is a current issue until you are protected.d What have you done about this? Have you talked to your ISP? |
