On Monday July 9th, 2012 at 12:01am the FBS shutdown identified rogue DNS servers (see July 9 Malware Alert). ISP’s (such as Comcast, Verizon and others) worked to make sure infected computers had an alternative DNS route.
Bottom line: no major outages or damages.
At the time the servers were shutdown, <a href=”http://www.dcwg.org/last-day-of-dcwg-data/” target=”_blank”><u>DCWG statistics</u></a> indicated some 300,000 computers worldwide were still pointing to these rogue servers, of which 42,000 were in the U.S.
