In the FAQ of this article it says:

> What’s the alternative to DNSSEC? > Do nothing. The DNS does not urgently need to be secured.

> All effective security on the Internet assumes that DNS lookups are unsafe.

This is not true, our entire infrastructure of ACME certificate authorities like let's encrypt are fundamentally dependent on DNS: https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/#domain-validation

Then TLS verifies the domain with the private key the certificate authority issues...

How can you trust the s (secure) in https then??

Can anyone provide an example of "effective security on the Internet"?
