DNS Poisoning. (Pharming)

Here's the scenario:
If for example my DNS (ie. OpenDNS / DynDNS) got poisoned... without my knowledge I might be at risk of getting hacked.

How can I prevent this from happening?

 

You can't. It could happen to your ISP's DNS, it could happen to your own DNS server, it could happen anywhere.

Fortunately when you run a business based solely off DNS, you generally want to keep your customers safe and secure.

 

aww.. so nothing can be done on my side? :<
the securing of the DNS are the job of the DNS provider itself?

if they're compromised.... I'm doomed.

Q: Are there any other DNS that is really really really secured aside from the ff?
OpenDNS/ DNSAdvantage / DynDNS / Scrubit / Norton DNS / Google DNS / Level3 / Warner DNS

 

All DNS providers will be doing their best to keep their services secure. Nothing is better than another service when it comes to security, choose what you prefer.

 

Local DNS Poisoning can happen on your end from a MITM attack.
This requires a computer in your network to already be compromised.
By exhausting the DNS they can provide their own DNS response.
Of course the attacker would be running a web server for you to see his spoofed site. Make sure you check the address bar for the correct name.
