As mentioned in earlier posts of mine about a major DNS vulnerability which could redirect say google.com to a scam site which could be dangerous.The method on how to do it has been leaked and freely available on the internet, so it is necessary for you to keep safe by ensuring that you are using a Safe DNS server . Almost everybody is recommending Open DNS server.If you are interested in knowing more about how this vulnerability actually works , you could READ THIS article by Dan Kaminksy a security researcher who has written a very cool article on how this whole thing works.
Also to ensure that you are using a safe DNS server please GO TO this link and test if your current DNS server IS SAFE OR NOT.This is very important and i truly recommend everybody who is reading this to go to THIS LINK and test your DNS server.I had tried it out with many DNS servers most of which were vulnerable,Open DNS servers are officially announced as SAFE, so its better you shift to opendns , their ips are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.Initially about 85% of the DNS servers were vulnerable to this attack, its now reduced to 52%, but that still is a big number!!
The DNS test is available on the right hand side of THIS PAGE.Screenshot available below.
