Re: DNS flaw..

It doesn't happen thanks to a massive, 80+ vendor coordinated patch to DNS services, including every major ISP on the planet. Way to be naive, though.

 It doesn't happen if the ISPs take heed and patch their DNS servers. If you read the article, you'd see that many have yet to do so.

Issuing warnings is great, but warnings don't fix the problem. Acting on those warnings does, and many ISPs seem to be asleep at the switch.
