1 edit | OpenDNS.. If the reports are legit, then this makes OpenDNS unsafe and hazardous to its users, since it also employs a DNS Redirection service in place of the old "page not found" errors. |

But they don't make the page look like the original site. They identify that it is Opendns and not the ISPs or paypal or amazon, etc.

Anyone can also use OpenDNS, a start-up that also provides ad pages on domains that don't resolve, but does so without pretending to be the other site. And since ANY web site can be hacked, a vulnerability still exists, but one no different than if amazon or paypal itself had been hacked.

This is a quote from an article posted on April 7, 2008

"On Tuesday, OpenDNS will offer users of its free service a way to prevent this type of attack, and the company will also set up a Web site that will use Kaminsky's techniques to give users a way to change the passwords of vulnerable routers."
I will be checking on this. |
