*** Microsoft Warns Customers Away From SHA-1 and RC4 ***
---------------------------------------------
The RC4 and SHA-1 algorithms have taken a lot of hits in recent years, with new attacks popping up on a regular basis. Many security experts and cryptographers have been recommending that vendors begin phasing the two out, and Microsoft on Tuesday said that is now recommending to developers that they deprecate RC4 and stop using the SHA-1 hash algorithm.

This was never meant to "fix" DNS spoofing, but worked well enough for DNSSEC to be pushed back yet again. Overall, to
