Network giant domain name Repair Major omissions Internet protection from hacker Control

Beijing, July 10 (Xinhua)-internet security experts in the United States recently discovered a fundamental flaw in Internet design. Hackers can exploit this vulnerability to control the flow of Internet information and transfer users to fake websites, steal password and other information.

According to the Singapore Lianhe Zaobao, the Internet has encountered such a serious defect, but no related fraud cases have been found so far. In the past several months, major software and hardware vendors have, we have quietly worked together to find a remedy and will hold a press conference on the 8th to release the "patch" software. Security experts hope that the patch range is wide enough to prevent hackers from reverse exploitation.

Computer users have a month to download patches from Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, red hat, and other companies. Relevant parties will announce the details of defects at the Black Hat Security Seminar in Las Vegas next month.

Dan, a system researcher at ioactive, who accidentally discovered this defect? "It is really lucky to find this defect, because it is a design vulnerability that exists on all networks, so patching is designed without directly specifying the improvements."

"Dan's discovery is extremely important to the stability of the entire Internet," said Mose, founder of the Black Hat conference ." He said that if he sold this major discovery, he would certainly make a lot of money.

Securosis analyst morgol said in a media conference call: "The problem is very serious and involves how the entire domain name framework works. If this vulnerability is not fixed, the Internet will still exist, but it is no longer what you want, because hackers will control everything ."
