This website also scans for pirated movies and music...no, but that would be sneaky

the hackers can also easily change the rogue DNS servers to point the link DNS Changer Check-Up - Clean to a different IP address. therefore making the authenticity of that website questionable.

a better idea would have been to use that websites IP address instead of a domain name..

an analogy of this would be using a phone book that may have been compromised to lookup a phone number that tells you whether said phone book has been compromised. doesn't make sense does it?
