| Authentium’s SafeCentral Protects Users from Massive DNS Flaw Authentium announces that its flagship SafeCentral secure-browsing service, a solution proven to protect users from DNS security flaws, keyloggers, and other desktop spyware, provides effective protection from a recently uncovered flaw affecting millions of DNS servers. The DNS flaw was highlighted in a presentation made at the Black Hat security conference on Thursday by Dan Kaminsky, who discovered the vulnerability. The vulnerability allows "cache poisoning" attacks that could be used to send Internet users to malicious sites and hijack e-mail or online transactions. SafeCentral uses Authentium's patent-pending TSX technology to create a virtual "concrete bunker" that safeguards users from the most sophisticated techniques used by Internet thieves. These threats include viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, phishers, man-in-the-middle attacks, screen scrapers, DNS poisoning, Wi-Fi interception, and countless other orchestrated attacks. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
