While all three of these appear to have occurred *after* the Kaminsky
vulnerability was released, there doesn't seem to be any indication as
to whether these systems were patched.

Nor any conclusive evidence that any of these were as a result of the
Kaminsky style attack.   In fact, I recall the South American one for
sure was not.

Can you make the argument that they would not have been prevented had
DNSSEC been deployed?
