The World-Wide BIND Problem

Has anyone been affected by the problem with the BIND (Berkely Internet Name Domain) software flaw?

Apparently, the software is very vulnerable to hackers who can re-route e-mail of even domain addresses.

Some are calling this one of the greatest threats to affect the Internet. Is this true? I haven't seen much of this in the news or heard much talk about it.

I'd appreciate any comments or insight regarding the issue.
