Can’t Connect to the Internet? DNSChanger May Be to Blame

If you are experiencing internet connectivity problems with any of your computers, one reason could be because today was your last day to remove a virus from that system. As of this week, an estimated 350000 computers worldwide were still infected with the Alureon DNSChanger virus and over forty five thousand of those cases were here in the US The FBI wrapped up an investigation in November of last year which led to the arrest of a group of Estonian cybercriminals. The group had been hacking personal computers and installing malicious software since 2007.

Should you invest in security awareness training?
