Facebook begins notifying DNSChanger victims

Following Google's recently launched initiative aiming to notify DNSChanger victims, Facebook is also following the example and is beginning to notify victims using the world's most popular social network.

The partnership between Facebook's Product Security Team and the DNSChanger Working Group aims to reach out to the tens of thousands of users still infected with the DNSChanger malware, as they risk losing Internet connectivity on July 9, 2012 when the temporary severs maintaining the infrastructure will be shut down.

You can also check whether you're infected with the DNSChanger malware, by using the DNS Changer Check Up Service, instead of waiting for Google or Facebook to issue you an alert.
