Catch the DNS Hijack: How ISPs Play Fast and Loose with Your Internet Navigation

Surfing the net and hit a snag? Your ISP might be the prankster behind that ‘404 comedy show’, sneakily intercepting your DNS. Trust us, it’s no laughing matter when your quest for cybersecurity news lands you on the ‘naughty list’. Keep your clicks genuine—beware the DNS shenanigans!

Hot Take:

Remember when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) said, "We're here to help"? Well, looks like their "helping hand" might've been caught in the cookie jar of DNS interception. It's like having a nosy neighbor who not only judges your mail but also slips in a few "special offers" while they're at it. And just like that neighbor, even when you tell them to stop, they just can't help themselves. You wanted to visit Bleeping Computer for some light reading, but your ISP's overzealous DNS filter might redirect you to KnittingForCats.com because, you know, safety first!
