TDSS Rootkit and DNSchanger: An Unholy Alliance

The TDSS rootkit has proven to be more pliable and adaptable than a campaigning politician. It shows up in drive-by downloads, targeted attacks and just about everything in between. DNSchanger Trojan hijacks victim s Web traffic by changing the DNS settings on the infected machine, redirecting him to malicious sites.

The six men have been arrested in Estonia and are awaiting extradition to the United States.
