Domain Name System (DNS) flawed; potential risk to World Wide Web

Recently, a significant threat to DNS, the system that translates names you can remember (such as www.doxpara.com) to numbers the Internet can route (66.240.226.139) was discovered, that would allow malicious people, especially hackers and phisers, to impersonate almost any website on the Internet. Software companies across the industry have quietly collaborated to simultaneously release fixes for all affected name servers. To find out if the DNS server you use is vulnerable, give DNS Checker on DoxPara Research a try.

It is in the black box on the right side of the website. :-)
