FWIW I have contacted the BBC asking them to present a more balanced report. I doubt anything will come of that. Even if the BBC does publish a correction it will be an uphill battle to explain the details of how DNS actually works to a puzzled BBC journalist with a deadline to meet. Niall O'Reilly said he posted something through the "have your say" feature of the BBC web site. Perhaps if others on this list did likewise.... > People might get scared :) It is good that attention is given to > the risks of badly secured DNS servers, but scaring the public like > this... Indeed. Though personally speaking, I don't accept Sirer's methodolody let alone his concluions about "vulnerabilities" or badly secured name servers. Which doesn't for a moment mean the DNS has no vulnerablities or badly secured servers. These do of course exist. Just not in the way Emil Gun Sirer has suggested.
