    Exclamation DNS Hacked!!

    We thought Domain Name Servers(DNS) through which we pull a website on our browser are safe...Well, not any more... Attackers can hack in to many DNS servers and divert data traffic through their own computers... They can then spy on sensitive data, like passwords and pins for online banking...

    Software houses like Microsoft & Cisco have agreed to stay silent on this issue to defer attention & avoid creating a panic...

    But don't worry OpenDNS is still safe... So, change ur default DNS to OpenDNS as soon as possible...

    Address of OpenDNS are-

    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    Check whether ur present DNS is safe or not at

    DoxPara Research

    Happy Browsing!!
