Subject: Firefox & Mozilla  Advisory

I was just taking a guess at what could have happened. But it sounds
like it would work. You buy www.google.com.net and then you wait for
their DNS to mess up and you get thousands and thousands of hits to your
spyware site. Possible Passive Pharming attack?

Anyone know for sure what happen?
