Yep, somebody modified the delegation via a forged domain modification email. An emergency root server update has been done to correct the problem.
Isn't an acknowlegement required with the correct tracking number?
If yes, were acknowlegement(s) also forged with guessed tracking numbers?
If yes to my second question, then the tracking numbers either need to be made much longer and randomized or a one time pass phrase (session key) needs to be added to the acknowlegement form.
You can actually set a domain name so that it cannot be changed, by any template, by any modification, correct guardian or NOT. I would ass-u-me AOL did this, but obviously their DNS admins aren't clued enough to figure this one out. Tiem to hire people that know *all* of what they're supposed to do, not just what they read out of an ORA book. Gah. -- jamie rishaw (efnet:gavroche) American Information Systems, Inc.
