CNET is NOT a real-time monitoring site
Who told you it was CNET's job to provide real time alerts on Internet hacks and threats? CNET, ZDnet, SlashDot, Sourcforge, et al are commercial news sites dedicated to a wide variety of technologies and should not be confused with network monitoring/alerting/threat management. Sites such as CERT.org, secunia.com, internetpulse.net are more specialized and have the netmon probes in place to measure anomalies like these. Get a clue and stop slaying the messenger. Besides, root server DNS attacks will only affect you if your DNS can't resolve IP addresses out of their cache. I see no noticable performance degredation on my firms DNS servers at the moment. WHEN IT'S TIME TO PANIC, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED.
