Sat May 14, 3:34 AM ET
Security experts late Friday warned that a DNS cache poisoning attack
may be underway and redirecting users from some of the most popular Web
sites to a malicious URL where spyware and adware is invisibly installed
onto their computers.
According to the Internet Storm Center, which posted an alert on its Web
site, it had received reports that the attack was redirecting traffic
from popular domains such as google.com, ebay.com, and weather.com.
