What annoys me even more than the FBI supposedly knowing how to deal with this issue,
is the person asking what does 'DNS' mean when there is a link right there of "Introduction to Domain Name System (DNS)"
We still haven't moved that far off from "I can't find the any key"
The schools systems still suck air.

Using a trusted DNS server like OpenDNS is a good start even for those who don't understand what's going on with DNS, DNSChanger, etc.

Sorry to be the party-pooper, but what does this have to do with Linux?
I know as Linux users, we are not supposed to be vulnerable to this type of attack so how does this affect us penguins?

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

Definitely a good topic, but likely better in The Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe. 
Will move it there and leave a link here...

Wait! Wait! It was appropriate for BATL. It's about Linux security... and MS Windows lack thereof.
