Message

We have been contacted by the IE Domain Registry in relation to DNS servers that are vulnerable to attack and exploit.

While the Blacknight DNS servers are NOT open to exploit using the "Kaminsky exploit" unfortunately a lot of other DNS servers are.

We will be attempting to contact as many of the affected registrants as possible to warn them of the issue.

If you want to test your DNS there is a free tool available here
