Why I'm Invulnerable To The DNS Cache Poisoning Vulnerability

Why am I invulnerable to the DNS Cache Poisoning Vulnerability?

Simply because I'm not using my ISP's DNS servers. I've been using the DNS servers of OpenDNS since October 2007, when I sent an email to those on my friends list recommending the use of OpenDNS.

OpenDNS isn't vulnerable to the DNS cache poisoning vulnerability. Apparently, OpenDNS, PowerDNS and MaraDNS took action long before the recent vulnerability disclosure.

In other words, I trusted the right people.
