This is nothing more than alarmist journalism.
Re: DNS vulnerability puts e-mail, directory services at risk.
The fact of the matter is there is an exploit that is targeting windows DNS servers. Maybe it would be prudent to explain what can be done to prevent the exploit, which is fairly trivial. Something other than extolling the horrible things that can happen when a DNS server is taken over.
Alarmist and pointless!!!

hi
Why did they not realize this vulnerabilty when they first invented it???
Bull shit
lol@u
"Large ISPs typically run their DNS servers on Unix or Linux running Bind, Nominum or other software and not on Microsoft DNS services, so consumers would likely not be those most at risk, says Mockapetris, who is now the chief scientist for Nominum."
Ahhh, its a sell piece for nominum. Nice job, hack.
