World Wide Web Blackout Tomorrow

[naathyn]

Is your computer affected with the DNSchanger virus that has already infected millions of computers across the globe? Tomorrow, those infected will cause mass internet blackout. Go here, http://www.dns-ok.us If that background is green, you're okay. If it's red... well you could be in for a lot of hassle. More on the issuse here: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/no ... are_110911

I'm all green 😀

I heard about this a month or two ago, I am in the Green.

It's horrible that such a thing has happened, I hope someone can find a solution to the problem!

Good thing i'm green. What happen now? This is pretty big news to me.

I am as well, although I just read the notice that says: If the ISP redirects DNS for its customers automatically, then the computer could still be infected 🙁

I don't know if my ISP does that automatically or not...

The virus, as its name indicates, affects computers’ abilities to access the Internet’s DNS system – basically, the phone book for the Internet. The virus redirected unsuspecting users to fake DNS servers, which then sent the users to fake websites where the thieves profited from ads posted on those pages. Once the FBI arrested the cybercriminals, the Bureau built a safety net of new servers to redirect users away from those sites that were infected.

But, on Monday, July 9, that safety net of servers is going offline when the FBI shuts the sites down. That means that any computer that is still infected with the virus will lose access to the Internet unless the virus is removed from the machine.

Can someone who is good at JavaScript view the JS code in chrome and tell us what the script is actually doing 0_0

Even if it was red, I wouldn't have minded.. would have been fixed sooner or later.

Weiiiird, there's no script in the page source. I even ctrl f'd the word "script" and got 0 results.

The big image is set to show the the background color rgb(51, 255, 51), but I'm not familiar with rgb color coding so I don't know if that's saying red or green or what... That's the only thing I can see that determines what color is shown.

Oh god, a quick google search tells me the color is #33FF33, which is the green color. I see nothing in the page source or anywhere else that would show a red color. Could this site be a hoax?

Green. 🙂

I would say it isn't but its on the fbi website. We all know the FBI is full of nothing but liars.

LOL.

I wouldn't go that far, but I've thought this was a joke since I first heard about it. I did check all of the computers in my house though, all 3 are clear.

I'm Green as can be! 🙂

There is javascript there. You can view it under the script section in chrome. There is either JS or PHP that plays a role in the page display. Because if you notice when you go to the site and it shows green, the title of the page is "Clean"

So either there is some code doing an "if" statement that is hidden, or it is a government hoax (which wouldn't surprise me) 😛

If it's the latter, every incumbent just lost my vote.

What if that site that you're going to that says you're green, is actually infecting your computer o.0 😱

 

[mav3n]

Good point Eternal lol Well, the site is down for me lol Probably too many requests and the servers are down 😛 Or, they suffered a DDoS attack and that is the first sign of the world ending...oh well!

The site is down for me too.

 

[mav3n]

Like I said, it's all downhill from there. We are all screwed lol

 

[naathyn]

Oh damn guys. That site was advertised on headline news on every channel. Why would they take it down? What could be the meaning of this?

The site had embedded cp in it, it was a sting operation by the feds in conjuncture with a few private prison firms. Its just business, and it'll dilute the sex offender list.

What if they needed data on who was access the internet and now they've used a script to be able to track our every online action?

THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT MOVIE SOME DAY.
