CircleID: An Astonishing Collaboration
An obviously relieved Dan Kaminsky describes the recent collaborative process to fix a big DNS bug before any bad guys could discover it.
Have you updated your nameserver software in the last few weeks? If not, it’s time. Dan writes:
- It’s a bug in many platforms
- It’s the exact same bug in many platforms (design bugs, they are a pain)
- After an enormous and secret effort, we’ve got fixes for all major platforms, all out on the same day.
- This has not happened before. Everything is genuinely under control.
