If you used OpenDNS for your DNS servers you never were exposed at all. More info on this security issue here in the BBR Security forum: »Internet flaw could let hackers take over the Web True - apparently the potential exploit of the flaw has been known for a while (recall reading a comment that the DNS system has been known to be broken for a while). OpenDNS is a good solution for someone with some knowledge but I am pretty sure that the big ISP's (Bell, Telus & Rogers in Canada) would not pre-configure their service to use someone else's DNS. And 99% of internet users would never even want to fiddle with those setting... unlike those of us here on DSLR that have a higher comfort level with these changes. Unsure exactly what TekSavvy did to patch their system but I would guess (since they said that they are not on an MS system) that they upgraded their BIND from v8 to v9. But that is pure speculation because I can honestly say that I do not know what that last sentence implies wrt ease of an upgrade
