This was in my opinion one of the best talks at defcon a few years back. I replicated this with some CDN domains, and was amazed at the number of bits that were being flipped out there that drove traffic to my test systems. It would have been very easy to serve up content that could have caused a lot of problems.

It would be really interesting to see what mitigation would be possible if this became a serious problem. I suppose the simplest solution is for the responsible cdns to just buy up all of their bitneighbors.
Or shifting most devices to using some form of ECC memory
