A few days back, while surfing, I came across this piece of article that discussed how a researcher named Dan Kaminsky has figured out a flaw in the basic architecture of the Internet. The flaw, which appears in the DNS system allows for poison attacks. Dan had been working with Microsoft, Cisco and the Internet Consortium to patch the vulnerability. Dan had planned to disclose the vulnerability once he is done patching it up. He was planning to disclose the vulnerability in the Black Hat security conference to be held on August 6.
