The latest DNS bug is terrifying, widespread, and reveals deep flaws in Internet security

#YAWN.

“Terrifying?” Really? Don’t we get enough fearmongering from our politicians already?

Meh. Another day, another DNS bug remediated. Progress continues to be made, slowly, towards a secured distributed global name resolution infrastructure. Much remains to be done.

@Dan_Kaminsky, you’re a fine researcher, and I do appreciate the way you’ve managed to get publicity for long-standing DNS issues that people like DJB weren’t able to get into the press, but don’t you ever get tired of these scare headlines?
