I just posted this, and I believe it makes sense: Title: Put Security Alongside .XXX Isn't security as important to discuss as .XSS? The DNS has become an abuse infrastructure, it is no longer just a functional infrastructure. It is not being used by malware, phishing and other Bad Things [TM], it facilitates them.
Again - DNS is the infrastructure for EVERYTHING. It facilitates EVERYTHING. If you threw it out and put something else in that was not as clunky as editing hosts.txt files 'scp'ed from DARPA daily, then THAT would be what was facilitating everything.
Operational needs require the policy and governance folks to start taking notice. It's high time security got where it needs to be on the agenda, not just because it is important to consider security, but rather because lack of security controls made it a necessity.
Completely separately from your personal views on DNS, the above are quite true. -- Joe Yao Analex Contractor
