The biggest threats to Macs (and all of us) right now is the Microsoft DNS vulnerability. Unfortunately, many Mac users work in environments where the local DNS is on a Microsoft server. The problem is that the Microsoft DNS can be remotely attacked and loaded with bogus addresses. Thus you type in the URL of a site you trust and you get routed to a look-alike phishing site. This is very serious and is currently happening. I don't see that Microsoft has issued a patch. Best solution for now is to change your DNS settings to use a trusted UNIX DNS server. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
