In January 2008, Dan Kaminsky, a network security analyst who specialises in domain name issues, discovered a serious vulnerability in the Domain Name System which would allow hackers to redirect Internet users to fake sites, even if they had entered the correct domain name in a browser.

Kaminsky informed major net operators (ISC, Cisco, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft among others) in secret about this flaw and worked with their engineers to develop a patch. This patch was released in the second week of July 2008 and we immediately applied it to all of our servers.
