Reports from IT directors and major IT suppliers indicate that the security hole in Internet Domain Name System servers is being patched -- but not everyone, nor every company, is responding quickly.

The hope was that most servers could be patched and ready before the public became aware of the problem. But as a result of the leak, many servers worldwide remain vulnerable to attack.
