I am sorry this is REALLY happening, but I have been suspicious of the
DNS servers for over a year.

starting 7-06, it looked like a Bios or VM rootkit. If I read 'boot files' correct,something on the boot was very wrong(4+ pcs/macosx). I saw the use of HFS,an old mac file system,QNX,mac/older unix programs. Wiped or new hard drives did no good, and it jumped on Linux faster. Finally, one day, someone dropped info (I could never find) on a pc that a DNS proxy,mail proxy was used. Maybe that was an 'ethical hacker', because the malware just seemed to go away.

Still have problems which cause me to suspect DNS as posible, but nothing
as bad as what ended in the beginning of 2008.I do see attempts on SQL attacks on some sites, but they are not as sophisticated as what hit before.

The security experts have publicized/are researching most of my 2007 q's,so I trust that they will win 'the war'!!
