Interisle's report illuminates malicious registration trends, but its broad blocklist methodology measures different questions than DNS Abuse, complicating conclusions about registry and registrar accountability by conflating reputation signals with actionable domain enforcement decisions for policymakers.
Pakistan's .pk domain has long been controlled by a private company abroad, raising concerns over digital sovereignty, cybersecurity and accountability. Repeated breaches, offshore infrastructure and weak governance have left a critical national asset exposed and contested.
Artificial intelligence is transforming phishing and DNS abuse, erasing the linguistic clues that once exposed scams. As attacks become personalised, automated and multilingual, governance frameworks are struggling to keep pace with a rapidly expanding threat surface.
As quantum computing advances, the race to secure the internet is becoming urgent. Experts at EuroDIG 2026 warned that only coordinated, multistakeholder action can accelerate post-quantum cryptography deployment before existing encryption becomes dangerously obsolete.
New data on DNS abuse reveals most malicious domains remain active beyond 24 hours, while a handful of registrars host the bulk of infrastructure, leaving India's population of first-generation internet users uniquely exposed to fraud.
As cross-border cyber enforcement falters, critics argue Article 19's DNS abuse framework prioritizes procedural purity over user protection, leaving courts too slow to counter AI-driven phishing, rapid-flux domains, and increasingly automated online threats.
Unicorn firms lead in DNS-based security adoption, signaling technical maturity, while Global 2000 rely on enterprise registrars. Gaps in redundancy and brand protection expose supply chain risks as cyberattacks intensify across industries globally today.
A flawed abuse-response system shifts costs from perpetrators to intermediaries, overwhelming enforcement. The Trusted Notifier Network seeks to realign incentives, curb low-quality reporting, and restore efficiency by embedding trust, accountability, and cost redistribution.
ICANN's new DNS abuse rules mark progress, yet short-term domain leasing enables fleeting, hard-to-detect attacks. A proposed 30-day minimum lease could curb cybercrime by undermining the economics of weaponised parked domains.
A once-trusted internet protocol is showing its age. DNSXplore, a global DNSSEC archive, exposes weaknesses, improves diagnostics and nudges adoption, helping secure the cryptographic chain underpinning online trust.
Bad actors are exploiting DNS with growing sophistication. New domains dominate threat infrastructure, daily user exposures are rising, and AI is accelerating attack creation, making DNS intelligence an increasingly critical early-warning system for modern cyber defence.
Project Jake invites global DNS stakeholders to test JADDAR, a privacy-respecting framework for secure access to registration data, aiming to reduce regulatory fragmentation and modernise domain governance through collaborative, policy-aligned engineering solutions.
A six year study of Global 2000 firms finds progress on email authentication but worrying gaps elsewhere. Despite rising DMARC adoption, falling DNS redundancy and uneven regional uptake leave companies exposed to domain based attacks.
DNSSEC promised to secure DNS with cryptographic proof, yet messy rollouts, outages, and hype backlash ruined its reputation. This piece argues that storytelling and emotions shape adoption as much as specs, and that automation enables a reset.
ICANN invites proposals for its DNSSEC and Security Workshop at the ICANN85 Community Forum in March 2026, offering a platform for global experts to share insights on DNS, routing security, and emerging threats.
EU-based DNS Internet Infrastructure Beginning to Take Shape, Planned to Onboard 100 Million UsersA DNS analysis of infrastructure behind ongoing MSHTA abuse uncovered malicious registrations, typosquatting clusters, victim activity, and hundreds of linked indicators, revealing how legacy Windows tooling continues enabling modern malware campaigns through interconnected DNS intelligence. more
A DNS deep dive into Microsoft's macOS ClickFix campaign uncovered victim infrastructure, typosquatting clusters, malicious registrations, and hundreds of linked indicators, exposing a broader infostealer ecosystem beyond the original 140 network IoCs identified by Microsoft. more
An extensive DNS analysis of TA416's renewed European espionage campaign uncovered malicious infrastructure, typosquatting clusters, historical network activity, and thousands of connected artifacts that expand defenders' visibility beyond Proofpoint's original indicators for proactive threat hunting. more
A DNS investigation of the GHOST STADIUM phishing operation uncovered typosquatting clusters, malicious infrastructure, victim-linked IP activity, and thousands of connected domains, revealing the scale of a FIFA 2026 ticket fraud ecosystem. more
A DNS investigation of Shadow-Earth-053 uncovered hundreds of victim-linked connections and a sprawling infrastructure tied to China-aligned cyber-espionage. Analysis of known indicators exposed additional domains, IP addresses, and registration patterns that broaden the campaign's suspected footprint. more
A DNS-focused investigation of the FakeWallet crypto-stealer campaign uncovered links to malicious infrastructure, potential victims, and thousands of connected domains, revealing signs of pre-staged operations and suggesting the wallet-phishing scheme was broader and longer-running than first reported. more
A DNS investigation into Pushpaganda, an AI-powered scam network that infiltrated Google Discovery feeds, uncovered more than 1,000 connected domains, 162 linked IP addresses, and evidence that several infrastructure assets were registered with malicious intent. more
