Throwing this back to the main mailing list. It's about the DNSChanger
malware. From what I've gathered about it from over the weekend, there was
a hamfisted response by the FBI to a malware that AFAIK only affected
Windows computers, the effect being that in some places, name lookups point
to malicious websites on infected systems.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the response by Linux users should be minimal
in the final evaluation. If you have an unupdated Windows box running your
DNS services, then you need to do something, like wipe it and replace it
with something more secure.
