I was incidentally quite surprised to see the original limited scope
of the DNS changer worm. I didn't think we'd busted the folk involved
in the scam soon enough, nor was I happy with the ensuing publicity,
nor with how long it took for Paul to be able to turn off the the
servers supplying the (4+m) busted routers with corrected data.

The world has been ripe for the same attack or worse, across over half
the home routers in the universe, as
well as much CPE.

This is in part why I'm so adamant about getting DNSSEC support "out
there", adding sensors to cerowrt,
improving security, doing bcp38 and source sensitive routing and the like.
