1 edit | FTP "Certificates"?
Huh? (Too lazy to read the articles.)
Edit: But having skimmed the Slashdot discussion
»tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/08/07/···52.shtml
it's quickly clear that this is no "news" at all. It's simply a reminder to newbies that DNS affects most Internet-based transactions, not just web traffic.

| Imagine now future hacking attacks!
Imagine now getting into a hacker's private server by only going to »https://www.paypal.com/
Some software also uses hostnames for auto-updating features. Imagine now downloading virus by going to windows update or something like that.
I hope that flaw will be fixed soon..... |

| Verizon DNS still ranks POOR
I'm suprised, just ran the tests again, and my Verizon FiOS DNS servers (71.242.0.12 and 71.252.0.12) still come back as POOR. Very suprising. I can't belive they haven't patched them yet!
Glad I switched to OpenDNS a while back!  |

"Remaining" immune isn't a problem. Once a server is properly reconfigured, you're done, pretty much.
The unpatched servers are run by people who are either (a) lazy, (b) irresponsible, or (c) cheap. Pick three.

said by Shamayim :said by jgantert :Glad I switched to OpenDNS a while back! Can someone explain why OpenDNS remains immune? OpenDNS's founder and CEO says here that OpenDNS's servers were never vulnerable and he posted on his blog that he would explain later why that was the case. But he never did.
»blog.opendns.com/2008/07/08/open···ou-safe/
I’m very proud to announce that we are one of the only DNS vendor / service providers that was not vulnerable when this issue was first discovered by Dan. During Dan’s testing he confirmed (and we later confirmed) that our DNS implementation is not susceptible to the attack that was discovered.
We’re going to write more about this issue in the next 24 hours to address the vulnerability in detail and explain why we aren’t affected but I wanted to get the word out now so that you know you are safe using OpenDNS. Maybe he thought better of putting out on the internet why his DNS servers are immune for fear of giving hackers ideas on how to attack his servers. If I were him I wouldn't be giving out any info that might make life easier for the scum hackers of the world.

| So basically...
the entire Internet as we know it really should be rebuilt from the ground up to truly nip this flaw. I guess this is just what happens when the most fundamental of all Internet protocols gets a huge hole in it, everything else that rides on top of it immediately becomes vulnerable as well.
Well, I suppose we can all start memorizing and using the IP addresses of our favorite sites to ensure we're really getting to the site we requested
