The US government has secured an extension to keep computers infected with the DNSChanger malware connected to the internet until July 9th. The move prolongs the original date of March 8th set by the Southern District of New York court, which would have seen the remaining infected systems be cut off from the web. Systems infected with DNSChanger — which were originally reported to number about four million worldwide, including systems at half of all fortune 500 companies and US federal agencies — currently access the internet through temporary DNS servers that replaced the rogue servers seized by the FBI. While the instances of DNSChanger appear to have dropped significantly, the original 120 days to clean out the malware apparently wasn't enough.
