--DNSChanger Trojan Still Needs to be Cleaned from Fortune 500 and US
Government Systems
(February 3 & 6, 2012)
Half of Fortune 500 companies and nearly half of all US federal government agencies still have the DNSChanger Trojan on their networks, according to researchers. The malware alters the settings on infected computers to manipulate search results and prevent users from accessing websites with information and tools that could be used to scrub the malware from their computers. In early November 2011, authorities in Estonia arrested six people in connection with the Trojan, and US authorities obtained a court order to replace the command and control servers the attackers used with legitimate DNS servers, but that order will expire on March 8, 2012. If infected machines are not cleaned by the time the order expires and the servers are taken offline, those computers will not be able to access the Internet. There is a tool available that allows users to test their systems for infection.
