More rogue DNS servers serving up poisonous content

By Joel Hruska | Published: February 15, 2008 - 05:05AM CT

According to a new report by Georgia Tech (in partnership with Google), 
the number of rogue DNS servers is steadily rising. Poisoned DNS servers 
have always represented a potentially potent line of attack, as we noted 
back in December, but this new study gives a concrete estimate on 
exactly how many poisoned servers are out in cyberspace. This study 
appears to be a follow-up on that earlier coverage, and gives more exact 
data than was previously available.
