I am surprised we are not hearing about this on the list.. just in case you haven't been getting the MS alerts or other news sources telling you about it: there is a new attack on DNS servers.. it was supposed to start in August, to give people time to patch, but it was released early..http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080726-new-dns-exploit-now-in-the-wild-and-having-a-blast.html Basically, unpatched servers are open to cache poisoning, which means that if you ask your dns server for roslyn bank, the dns server may give you the hacker's ip address, and you go to the hacker's site thinking you are on the real bank.. If you run a dns server, it has to be patched right now.
