Hackers have a way into our Information Infrastructure

We are past due! We have been attacked again on the Information super high way. Some foreign hackers has manage to hack DNS servers. DNS = Domain Name Service. These servers control the names that we come to love like youtube.com and yahoo.com. This is a significant hack since they were able to slow down the Internet due to massive amount of data being pushed through the .org suffix. I see now why our Internet access was so slow the other day at work (we have an org suffix). Anyways, hackers are getting very clever, and are able to hack into our life line of information.
What do you think we can do with our security to make sure that these things don't happen in a global scale?

We need to hold Software Analyst accountable for these securty holes and give them incentives for closing any security threats.
