SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - - Computer industry heavyweights are hustling to fix a flaw in the foundation of the Internet that would let hackers control traffic on the World Wide Web.

Major software and hardware makers worked in secret for months to create a software "patch" released on Tuesday to repair the problem, which is in the way computers are routed to web page addresses.

Yeah its more of a design flaw infact and in a way its good that the hackers haven't tried to tamper with it yet. People should be made more aware about downloading the security patches on their computer.
