Lack of IPv6 Awareness Could Leave Users Vulnerable to Phishing, Researchers Say

摘要

Lagging adoption and awareness of IPv6 could leave some users open to redirect attacks, researchersnat Neophasis Security Systems told us. Networks that aren't expecting IPv6 activity may not havenIPv6 defenses, creating potential vulnerabilities, they said. But John Brzozowski, chief IPv6 architect fornComcast, said in most cases IPv6 vulnerabilities parallel those in IPv4. He said the minimal security risksndon't outweigh the benefits of moving toward IPv6 as quickly as possible.
