[NA-Discuss] New Internet Worm set to attack April 1

[Garth Bruen at KnujOn]

Nothing off-topic about it, this worm directly targets the domain name
system. It may try to register 50,000 randomly generated domains. Some
ccTLDs have blocked any new registrations until it is sorted out. The
real problem is that this portion of the worm source code is encrypted
so no one really knows yet.
