[] TAS Interruption - Update (17 April 2012)

[Adam Peake]

I've not used the TAS, and have no idea about "Citrix XenApp virtual
machine software" and encrypted tunnels, but for those that do,
perhaps this article makes sense
<http://domainincite.com/first-tas-security-bug-details-revealed/>
Perhaps this is what happened, perhaps not.  We'll find out in due
course.  In the mean time, I think ICANN's doing fine with the daily
updates.  About as good as could be expected, really, don't see what
else they can do at the moment.
