Somewhat OT: DNS poisoning to Korean address

A small side-note:

This goes to show how vulnerable we, and the Net, are. Imagine if that fiber was needed for
some critical service... a couple of years ago a cable was cut (roadwork..) over here (Norway),
and they took out all comms for a local airport (or was it hospital? Don't remember).
Of course, there was a backup cable, in case the first would go down. But the backup cable was lying next to the primary, so they had cut that too.

Way to go!!
