"I do think we are going to see attacks. I think we have been seeing attacks already going on in the field," said Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing for IOActive, who warned the industry about the DNS vulnerability nearly five months ago. "We're doing everything we can to mitigate and reduce its incidence." Kaminsky mentioned a DNS-related incident with China Netcom (possibly the incident reported by the ZD Net Zero Day blog [1]), but said it wasn't clear that it was due to the vulnerability he found. "There are other scenarios that I can't, unfortunately, get into," he added.
