To: <incidents@securityfocus.com>

Just to let everyone know, there has been some major DNS cache poisoning go=
ing on at Verisign apparently done by some Brazilians ("Web Pirates") for w=
eb site defacements. If your parking your DNS at worldnic.com (netsol/veris=
ign) you might want to see if you site has been redirected to 64.225.154.17=
5 (owned by Interland of Atlanta) using random DNS servers.=20

Don't you love UDP.
