DNSSEC (Launch Day) improves information security in the Domain Name System

Ask for DNSSEC!
To see whether an fi-domain name is signed with DNSSEC or not, check the domain’s whois information at https://www.traficom.fi/en/communications/fi-domains/fi-domain-name-search (External link) If DNSSEC is not yet deployed, ask your registrar to take action.
As an internet user, you can check whether DNSSEC support is enabled in your internet connection by visiting: dnssec-failed.org
If you can see the contents of the page, it means that your ISP does not support DNSSEC.
Ask them to change it!
