Hackers have released attack code that exploits a recently disclosed flaw in the Domain Name System. There is a fix already out there but the problem is that not all service providers have installed the patches.
Attackers could also use the code to silently redirect users to fake software update servers in order to install malicious software on their computers, said Zulfikar Ramizan, a technical director with security vendor Symantec. "What makes this whole thing really scary is that from an end-user perspective they may not notice anything," he said.
