Isnt this a ripoff from the Anonymous DNS Attack doomsday story? Both are false then.

Though the technique is very ingenious, its OS dependent.

Boy, these false stories are getting cleverer with time.:|

The malware will have to change the DNS settings for the OS is question. Not going to affect Linux, since it has been designed only for Windows and Macs.

are you sure that its only for MAC and Windows ? AFAIK , it affects the router configuration too.And that has nothing to do with the OS (In the file released by FBI , it is mentioned that it also affects the DHCP server , which is generally the router.
) .
I think ,The malware residing on remote server just needs your IP address to alter the DNS settings.

I think maybe the virus tries to telnet the router .

The DNSChanger malware is capable of changing the DNS server settings within SOHO routers that have the default username and password provided by the manufacturer. If you did not change the default password at the time the SOHO router was installed, you must check the SOHO router settings.

Still the malware uses only Mac or Windows to do what it wants.

I keep remote access disabled in all my routers and all machines predominantly run Linux at home. :)
