It is reported that by 9th July, Monday 250,000 users will loose access to internet. A virus named DNS changer has infected the users. FBI warns that if not cured these users will loose internet access by this date.
The malware, DNS changer, is based on basic internet principle called DNS (Domain Name System). When we open the a link then firstly it is converted to numerical address called ip address and then the page is loaded from the page servers. Without DNS and DNS servers operated by internet service providers users would be unable to browse internet, send emails etc. Now what this virus does is that it infects the users so that when they open a link, they are redirected to the servers of these infectors who earn billions of dollars for this.
As reported by the FBI on their site, they caught the criminals and cleaned up their servers but did not close them. They announced 9th of July as the date to close these servers so that in the meantime users can cure themselves from this malware. The servers were temporarily cleaned and left to work so that the infected users can fix their computers and do not loose internet access suddenly. Now on 9th of july when these servers will be shutdown then every infected user will not be able to access the internet and Internet Doomsday will come.
On 4th June facebook also announced to do it's part and save users from this malware before the 9th july by creating awareness and warning them. Below is the image which facebook shows when a user is infected with this virus.
