This might be a little old, but I thought I'd post it anyway. A recently discovered security flaw embedded in the most popular breed of Internet server software (BIND) could expose more than 80 percent of the world's Web sites to hacker attacks if network administrators don¹t move quickly to replace the flawed versions. Anyone exploiting these vulnerabilities could take control of
net servers, redirect visitors and a whole lot more. If you're a webmaster or a system administrator, make sure you upgrade. More information here and here. The Bugtraq listing for the vulnerability is here.
