Paul and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

More Than 80 Percent of DNS Servers May be Vulnerable to Pharming
(24 October 2005)
The results of a recent survey indicate that 84 percent of DNS servers
around the world might be vulnerable to pharming attacks, which use DNS
cache poisoning or domain hijacking to redirect Internet users to
specially crafted web sites designed to steal their personal
information.
