"A flaw makes the Internet vulnerable to Hackers"

OK this is not a joke... This is a real concern. Yes, the ENTIRE Internet. There’s a flaw in DNS (Domain Name Server) Name servers which could allow hackers to take over the Internet and forward users to impostor sites. It’s called “cache poisoning.”

So imagine if you went to a web site like "Bank of America" and every thing looked like the home page until you put in your password. This is a vulnerability that hacker are taking advantage of....

And many of the major DNS companies aren’t protected. Cisco, Microsoft, AT&T, Comcast (in some areas). Companies that use OpenBDS servers are protected as is DSLExtreme. If you’d like to know if your servers are safe, head over to www.DOXPARA.COM. If you’re vulnerable, you don’t have to use your present DNS server. You can use OPENDNS.COM it’s easy to configure to make your browser safe … and it’s fast too. And for parents, OpenDNS will even block adult sites. Just that alone makes it worth it. And it’s free!
