This post requires a lot of context to make sense out of. Unless you are in the security space and familiar with what happened last 36 hours, it probably won't make much sense quickly. 1) Microsoft has a critical flaw in DNS server 2) A security company publishes the info - no public exploit available at this point 3) Someone creates a fake exploit - playing a prank on hackers and other security companies 4) Lots of people ran the prank code or helped spread the existence of the fake exploit Not sure if this makes it easier to understand- at least I tried. :)
