Ok so you may have noticed that my site was not available over the last day or so (not sure just how long) and in fact it may still be inaccessible depending on your provider. I had no idea this even happened as I am out on vacation this week with my family and I may have not known for a while longer had a colleague of mine not notified me of the issue. So just what was the issue? Was the site hacked? Well not exactly….what happened exactly was that my hosting provider was vulnerable to the whole global DNS cache poisoning vulnerability discovered by Dan Kaminsky causing my site to be redirected to another location. While on vacation I opened a ticket with my provider, explaining the hack to them (I read the Intellishield Alert regarding the issue) and they promptly took the correct measures to rectify the problem. I apologize for any inconveniences this has caused you and hope that the we don’t have any further RPE’s…(Resume Producing Events) ….

Btw, if you haven’t patched your systems please do so now. You can get further information regarding Cisco devices affected by DNS poisoning here: Cisco PSIRT or by scrolling down to the PSIRT section of my site on the right-hand side of the page and clicking the first link.

To get a complete list of affected products as well as patch locations please see the Intellishield Alert for further details: Intellishield Alert 16183 as you can see from what happened to my site, this is issue should not be overlooked.
