I’m far from a techy Server Admin, and this is far from a tech blog, but while checking out Dave Shea’s blog this morning, I caught wind of a potentially crippling security flaw. The low down is that if you go to your banks website, there is no guarantee that it’s actually your banks website. So when you input your login information, someone else might be receiving it. I’ll leave the full blown explanation to the experts (doxpara.com and ComputerWorld). These posts are worth a read and do a good job of explaining the problem to the layman. While reading them, you can also test your DNS to see if you’re vulnerable. This all might be blowing smoke about nothing, but it’s better to be safe then broke.
