I had recently had some discussions on security, and had come to the conclusion that social engineering a Certificate Authority was easier than corrupting DNS. I'm not sure I'm wrong, but Johannes Ernst points out that something's wacky about MySpace DNS right now. Interestingly, doing a "whois" and going straight to their domain servers only has the loopback missing, so the exploit (if this involves an exploit) is about something listening on a compromised machine.

Oh yeah; wanna run right out and use *that* guy's security services.
If you can't keep the coffee stains off the tray tables, how in *hell* do you expect me to believe you're doing your engine maintenance right?

they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
