DNS is what has revolutionized and, in many ways, helped create the spectacular online environment we have today, know as the World Wide Web. We use DNS for virtually everything, from e-mail, to myspace, to online banking, to having internet access itself. DNS is what converts an ip address (a bunch of numbers that identify a system) to a name like www.funkytower.com, or pop.domain.com, etc. The flaw which has been found is very scary, as it can potentially change the course of our entire life. This flaw could allow malicious persons to duplicate any domain name.
