    Check your DNS to see if you can connect after today!

    Link. Last November, the FBI arrested 6 Estonian hackers and accused them of masterminding a nasty piece of malware that redirects your computers' Domain Naming System to a false one. The FBI rolled out some clean servers and temporarily fixed the problem, but this was only a stopgap measure to give infected machines time to get clean.

    Anything running Linux, or Ipads, Iphones, or usig Android are safe. P.C.'s and Macs are fair game, though. If you come up as infected, the site gives you options on where to go to get fixed.

    The last stats I saw on how many Fortune 500 computers were still infected with DNS Changer were pretty amazing; something like 12%. Wow! Doesn't that make you feel confident about Big Business and the security of your personal info! As I've said before, no matter how strong your passwords may be, and no matter how many different ones you use, your security is no better than the sites you connect to.
