Re: _DNS_ security problems
Here is something I just heard about, which sounds like an instance of
DNS-hijacking, but which is *not* Java-related.
A user accesses a corporate Web site. On the second level page, she
discovers that a gif on the page has been replaced with a naughty picture.
Text flashes on the screen advising her to find more of the same at a URL
at SuchandSuch University. The Web server itself was not tampered with
at all.
I wonder if this is at all related to the recent CERT alert regarding attacks
against DNS servers. Has anyone else heard of a similar occurence? I'm certain
this isn't the only instance of this type of problem.
