"U.K. Government Urges Organizations to Defend Against DNS Hijacking"

The U.K. National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) issued an alert to organizations, strongly recommending that they increase their efforts to mitigate the threat of DNS hijacking. The agency's discovery of multiple attempts at exploiting the Domain Name System (DNS) prompted the release of this alert. DNS hijacking refers to attacks in which DNS requests are intercepted and redirected to rogue or compromised DNS servers or domains through the modification of DNS records or the exploitation of vulnerabilities in the domain name registrar's system. This article continues to discuss the discovery of DNS hijacking attacks by the NCSC, the increase in DNS hijacking activity, and suggestions to security professionals on how they can help their organizations defend against these attacks.
