Dark Reading: The most high-profile attacks on Domain Name Service (DNS) servers are distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, but there are even more nefarious attacks on these systems underway today as cyber criminals and APT actors abuse commonly vulnerable DNS servers.
“DNS has been around forever. But there’s an overwhelming lack of expertise” in it, says Patrick Foxhoven, vice president and CTO of emerging technologies at Zscaler. “It’s been thought of as a dumb, foundational-level protocol. I believe it’s a blind area of many networks that’s often never looked at from a security point of view.”
