Security experts late Friday warned that a DNS cache poisoning attack 
may be underway and redirecting users from some of the most popular Web 
sites to a malicious URL where spyware and adware is invisibly installed 
onto their computers.

According to the Internet Storm Center, which posted an alert on its Web 
site, it had received reports that the attack was redirecting traffic 
from popular domains such as google.com, ebay.com, and weather.com.
