For those who have just arrived, and for the readers who have not been
keeping up-to-date, DNS poisoning is still active and alive. A recent update from SANS is here: http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?date=2005-04-28 There are ways, previously published, to protect yourself. If you are not updated on this issue, you are advised to not log on to any site that requires a password. SANS has more details, if you look. If you are running a BIND 4 or BIND 8 (or other insecure DNS) server, please update to BIND 9. Thank you. If you are a normal user like I am, be sure to check your URL/IP_address resolutions before logging on to any site (financial, e-mail, etc) that requires a password. Best wishes. |
