Secret Repair Of Domain Name Omissions

Us computer giants are rushing to repair a major loophole in the Internet, which may lead to computer hackers controlling the flow of the Internet.

According to Agence France-Presse, the major hardware and software manufacturers have been working secretly for several months, and in San Francisco, USA, 8 local time launched a newly developed software patch that can repair this vulnerability.

Dan Kaminski, a security researcher at IOActive, a security service provider, discovered the vulnerability of the domain name system 6 months ago, and contacted with tycoons such as Microsoft, sun micro system and CISCO company to cooperate in finding solutions.

Kaminski said: "people should pay attention to this problem, but there is no need to panic.

We have secured as much time as possible for people to test and install patches.

The report said that this loophole may lead to network fraudsters to take the opportunity to guide people to counterfeit banks or merchant web pages to deceive people to disclose accounts, passwords or other information.

Rich Mogull, an analyst at a security consultant, said that this is a very important issue, which concerns how the entire domain name system works.

No matter what web addresses are typed on the web browser, hackers may use this vulnerability to guide users to wherever they want.

Although the Internet still exists, hackers may control everything.

Kaminski also created a website: www.doxpara.com, where people can find loopholes in the domain name system.
