US DOJ victim letter

Operation Ghost Click - someone in your AS has malware which changes their DNS server to an evil IP.  ICANN (IIRC) replaced these servers with clean ones around November 2011 and now it seems like the FBI is trying to contact everyone who is still talking to that server.

FBI seems to have a list of netblocks hosting rogue DNS servers here:

So if one of the computers inside your network is talking to one of those IPs for DNS, you probably have malware.
