You forget that the culprits have already been caught, no one is there in
order to issue an update to circumvent the check site.

In *this* case.  Just keep in mind the *general* case where the miscreants are
still on the loose and can still target you for mischief. In that case,
demonsdebason is right - checking a DNS mapping without DNSSEC or similar isn't
guaranteed to reveal an infection, because the attacker can still lie to you...
