Possible Domain Poisoning Under Way By Gregg Keizer 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. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=74&e=1&u=/cmp/20050514/tc_cmp/163102002
