FBI Warns Infected Computers Will Lose Web, Email Access in July 9th 2012

FBI Warns Infected Computers Will Lose Web, Email Access in July 9th 2012..

"There’s a story circulating that if you don’t ensure your computer is malware-free by July 9, 2012, the FBI will shut off your access to the Internet. Like most such alarmist claims, it’s only partly true, though if you’re a Windows or Mac user, you’ll want to pay attention.


The original story dates back to 2007, when a group of cyber-ne’er-do-wells launched malware dubbed “DNSChanger,” infecting millions of computers in hundreds of countries with code that allowed them to manipulate the way Internet ads appear in browsers, ultimately racking up millions in illicit fees."

FBI PROVIDED A WEBSITE TO CHECK IF UR PC IS INFECTED OR NOT http://www.dcwg.org/detect/ if you do not make sure your computer is clean before July 9th, they will shut your internet.

BECAUSE THE FBI CONTROLS THE INTERNET AND HAS AUTHORITY OVER MY PROVIDER
It doesn't matter.

This news is about a malware that redirected all your computer's traffic through the hacker's server. The FBI is shutting down that server, and thus when the malware tries to redirect your computers traffic through it, nothing will happen and your internet won't work.

Chances are no one on Crossfire has been infected with that malware, though.

Makes more sense, thanks :)

QuoteChances are no one on Crossfire has been infected with that malware, though.


In fact the chances are pretty much

275,000 infected
2,267,233,742 Internet users
6,000 monthly unique visitors
probability of every visitor being clean = (1-(275,000/2,267,233,742))^6000 = 48.3%

Parent
I'm willing to take that chance.
Parent
Seems legit.
actually it is :D
Parent
weird that the FBI points to a 3rd party website to check wether your pc is good, would have thought they'd do so themselves :SS:S
Still whatever fucking amuricans :S

Welcome to reality - beginner mode
Parent
They'll take over the internet #truestory
Parent
Nobody's losing their web access alltogether because of this, their systems will just be redirecting to offline DNS servers if they haven't got rid of the malware.
Uhm yes your are if you do not get rid of it, and you wont get the internet back until your get rid of it and then you have to contact your provider to get your internet back hooked up. That's whats in then news atm.
Parent
Not this.
Parent
Both of these.
Parent
Both of these.

All clear nP
DNS Resolution = GREEN

Your computer appears to be looking up IP addresses correctly!

Had your computer been infected with DNS changer malware you would have seen a red background. Please note, however, that if your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers you would have reached this site even though you are infected. For additional information regarding the DNS changer malware, please visit the FBI's website at:

Six Estonian nationals have been arrested and charged with running a sophisticated Internet fraud ring that infected millions of computers worldwide with a virus and enabled the thieves to manipulate the multi-billion-dollar Internet advertising industry. Users of infected machines were unaware that their computers had been compromised—or that the malicious software rendered their machines vulnerable to a host of other viruses.
not infected :)

sup ?
FBI? Never heard of that Clan. Do they play OC/EC aswell?
No they don't, but you can ask that from Scully and Mulder, they are part of FBI clan.
Parent
Mulder&Scully stronk Lineup!

Parent

Parent
so what if fbi checks my pc and it appears to be clean, but most likely they cant find it anyway because they fail hard and then still half got malware? They cant do anything because its their system that failed;p
...... right, just read vanha's comment.
Parent
k ty :D still fbi fails and i doubt they can detect everything.
Parent
Red :)))))))
Google checks for that dns changer thing since the end of May afaIk.

So, if you can use google and it didn't warn you, you should be fine.
No it does not. Google does not have the permission to scan through your pc, they need to ask for your permission before taking any actions. Like the websites that FBI provided asks for your permission and asks you to agree on an agreement and their terms.
