I wish

They would stop saying "Dan Kaminsky discovered...". He didn't discover anything, he just brought to light an issue that's been out there for years and used his professional sway to influence the right people.

The issue with DNS is nothing new, people. Please stop glorifying him for "discovering" anything. Praise him for using political muscle to get the right people to pay attention to it finally, but that's it.

It's a novel way to poison a cache, one that might evade attempts to prevent more obvious poisoning schemes.

I don't know of anyone claiming priority over Kaminsky on this so he should get the credit.
