Oh, that is surely going to feed my sickness, thank you!

Security researcher Dan Kaminsky of IOActive stumbled upon the Domain Name System (DNS) vulnerability about six months ago and warned industry giants including Microsoft, Sun and Cisco to collaborate on a solution.

Amazing how people just "stumble" on to stuff like this.

The patch can't be "reverse engineered" by hackers interested in figuring out how to take advantage of the flaw, technical details of which are being kept secret for a month to give companies time to update computers.

So, we have a month to wait before the details are released. I'll be on pins and needles the whole time counting down each day until those details come out. ;)
