Ted, do you understand how the attack AC is talking about works?
Yes flash apps CAN poison YOUR DNS, not Apple's. It makes apple.com look like it's at another location. Now I don't know if it can go further than that as I guess Apple signs its updates and uses SSL connections...but that's an assumption.
Also Ted I think AC suggested a flash app as IIRC it wouldn't require you to click anything as it runs automatically and poisons your cache automatically. If it wasn't a flash ad then yeah you would need to click.
Either way you can make an address such as hsbc.com point to your own IP's and have lots of fun so you saying this can't work is plain wrong and I bet it is active in the wild (luckily my ISP's nameservers are patched)
