Why are you always trashing Comcast every chance you get? You never publish anything positive about Comcast, it's so UNFAIR!

He's Comcast Rick I believe. If you look at his avatar, an anvil is smashing the RR and Comcast is coming in. |

Comcast would loose cash on redirection that is why they patched this DNS issue so quickly |

The most interesting news out of this entire series of events was that Level 3 indicated they are going to restrict access to their 4.2.2.x DNS servers at some point in the future.
That's going to be an interesting day for sure -- those addresses have been a crutch for lazy admins for years and I bet they're buried in millions of configs that have no business using them. |

said by brianiscool :Comcast would loose cash on redirection that is why they patched this DNS issue so quickly And how would they lose cash?
1 - If their DNS servers were cache poisoned by this exploit it could cost their users some money if their identities were stolen when going to their online banking accounts and were misdirected to a phishing page. It wouldn't cost Comcast anything.
2 - Comcast doesn't run a redirection service to their own search page with ads when a user mistypes a domain name. So no money lost there.
So maybe you could enlighten us on how they would have lost money by not patching this flaw.

Re: What?
There are often positive editorials about Comcast on the front page. The sad thing is that the front page editorials usually include some sort of bash that is totally unrelated to the positive editorial. |
