The Manila Times Internet Edition TECH TIMES > Internet flaw could let hackers take over the Web
Computer industry heavyweights are hustling to fix a flaw in the foundation of the Internet that would let hackers control traffic on the World Wide Web.
Major software and hardware makers worked in secret for months to create a software "patch" released on Tuesday to repair the problem, which is in the way computers are routed to web page addresses.
"It's a very fundamental issue with how the entire addressing scheme of the Internet works," Securosis analyst Rich Mogul said in a media conference call.

I have always love to be called Filipino and had planned to remain a Philippine citizen forever, even having lived in the United States for twenty-nine years. Until recently, when I saw the news on TV the corruption of the leaders-- pardoning a convicted killer, I wanted to throw up. I cannot imagine how these people can sleep at night. I am going to seek naturalization ASAP and will be proud to become American citizen.
