Time Warner and AT&T DNS at Risk Plus Many Others!

Posted by geeknews at 12:39 PM on July 25, 2008

Time Warner and AT&T among others have yet to upgrade their DNS servers. Now that there is some rouge code on the loose that is designed to target these DNS servers it is a VERY DANGEROUS time to be surfing the Internet using the default DNS services from one of these companies.

I strongly urge you for at least the short term utilize OpenDNS as your DNS host. If you do not know what DNS is you need to get over to OpenDNS and find out now. This is not a complicated change  but if you are on a network that has yet to upgrade their DNS servers, (Check Here) you are at EXTREME RISK!
