In a recent revelation by Akamai security researchers, a chink in the armor of DNS security has been exposed.
This vulnerability, resulting from exploiting DHCP DNS Dynamic Updates, opens the door for attackers to engage in the deceptive art of DNS record spoofing.

Excellent thread, thank you.
The mere concept of hardening a network was daunting enough for non-IT people, way back when basic man-in-the-middle attacks were introduced into public discourse. This pervasive, collective, fear-based avoidance continues to drive many pedestrian users to dismiss such far-reaching risks as matters only relevant to IT/InfoSec professionals. Deliberate ignorance is always the biggest liability, isn't it?
