This is just another blip, and new measures will be added to be effective for another 10-15 years.

This is the same jerk who was then briefed by Kaminsky and later stated he agreed it was VERY SERIOUS. He then preceded to steal his thunder and leak the story on his blog!

Kaminsky actually says more than what you said. He said to point to OpenDNS if you can’t patch or your ISP isn’t patched.

Do we get no love because we said no to advertising on GigaOm? (kidding) We’ve been talking about the importance of DNS security for the last two years.

Well said. I’ve also put together a few background links on this issue at: http://gregness.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/dns-vulnerability-now-in-the-wild/

Kaminsky was just on a webcast with Cricket Lau on the DNS vulnerability.

Sincerely,
Greg
