Operation Ghost Click

The FBI is seeking victims in a DNS Malware Investigation for the case of UNITED STATES v. VLADIMIR TSASTSIN, ET AL. Specifically, the FBI is seeking information from individuals, corporate entities and Internet Services Providers who believe that they have been victimized by malicious software related to the defendants. As you know form the news blurbs that I've been sending out, this malware modifies a computer’s Domain Name Service settings, and thereby directs the computers to receive potentially improper results from rogue DNS servers hosted by the defendants. 

On your own systems, and the systems you manage, it's recommend you check the DNS settings and register as a victim of the DNSChanger malware if the DNS entries have been modified to point to the defendants' DNS servers. Complaints can be filed here: https://forms.fbi.gov/dnsmalware
