- dc396 1y agoSo you're saying the end user does not care about the data (IP addresses, mail servers, etc.) for the domain names they're trying to reach and they'd be perfectly happy (say) going to the IP address of an attacker controlled website instead of their bank? Interesting position.
- obvious_sock 1y agoThey're being contrarian and pedantic for the sake of being contrarian and pedantic. No, DNSSEC doesn't protect anything the user cares about because it protects IP addresses and the user doesn't care about IP addresses. Yes, DNSSEC protects the user because it blocks one vector by which they can be redirected to a phishing site.
