Worst DNS Security Incidents (securityweek.com)

The only genuinely serious DNS incident in this article is Kaminsky's query-ID bug. A better article might have noted all the times in the past when the DNS has been similarly exposed. Like the time Eugene Kashpureff tried to create an entire alternate domain name registrar using cache poisoning attacks. I note, smugly, that the Internet didn't fall around our ears then, nor has it recently.

DNSSEC will cause more problems than it claims to solve.

Back when Cha-Cha (one of those SMS-based question answering services) was newish, I texted them asking how I could go about taking down the entire Internet (you know, just to see what they'd say). They told me twice that it was impossible, then the third time when I mentioned targeting the DNS specifically, they just informed me that even if I did succeed, I would surely go to jail.

A disappointing response, I thought.
