Hackers attack DNS exploit, ISPs failing to update servers

theregister.co.uk are reporting that many ISPs have still not acted up on the now infamous DNS security flaw and miscreants are actively exploiting the gaping hole in the internet's address lookup system that can cause millions of web surfers to receive counterfeit pages when they try to access online banking services and other types of websites.

many laggard internet service providers reported to be dragging their feet in applying patches that fix the devastating DNS flaw. Dan Kaminsky says more ISPs appear to be getting the message. Last week, about 51 per cent of unique name servers tested on his site (see the "check my DNS" button to the right) showed up as vulnerable. Now, he says it's closer to 35 percent.
