Security researcher Dan Kaminsky died...
« on: April 25, 2021, 12:31:01 AM »
The renowed American security researcher, that detected DNS poisoning as a malware activity has died.

Why such expert guys are so often being "brought home" that early?
R.I.P., Dan.

Very good blog article and explanation on exactly what could have happened if Dan Kaminsky (R.I.P.) wasn't on the top of his game.  I dread to think just what could have happened.
