This doesn’t happen everyday so pay attention.

Generally, when I see some piece of news on the ‘nets on someone else’s blog, I don’t repeat it here. Why? Because that would be *redundant*. The way I see it, the news has already been covered, and I don’t need to say it again. 

That said, a while back, word got out about the now infamous DNS Bug. Haven’t heard of it? Not surprising: check out Digg, where no article about the bug has received more than 150 diggs. (Do feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.) I’ve read about it here and there - Slashdot, CNN - but folks don’t seem to grok that something can actually affect the entire Internet. Frankly, it seems like not enough people are talking about it

I could blather for paragraphs about why this is important, but the truth is, someone else has already said it better. Check out Cory Wright’s post on why exactly you should care over at the Linux Journal’s website. Read it immediately.
