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.
As Internet governance fragments in 2026, authority shifts from open, multistakeholder forums to state-led security regimes, legal instruments, and alliance-based cooperation, challenging longstanding institutions and reshaping global norms through enforcement rather than consensus.
The ICC's new cyber policy reframes Internet infrastructure as crucial to prosecuting atrocities, prompting DNS operators and network providers to grapple with emerging obligations around evidence, neutrality, and cooperation in international justice.
ICANN is finalising a policy to curb DNS abuse, aiming to preserve internet stability while defending freedom of expression. With regulatory pressure mounting, the multistakeholder model faces a critical test.
To prepare DNS security for a post-quantum future, Verisign and partners are testing new cryptographic strategies that balance security, performance, and feasibility, especially through the novel Merkle Tree Ladder mode for managing large signatures.
eco's topDNS initiative and AV-Test are publishing monthly reports to help ISPs detect and mitigate DNS abuse by analysing malware, phishing, and PUA trends, creating a long-term data foundation for industry-wide transparency.
Despite offering robust protection for the Domain Name System, DNSSEC suffers from poor adoption due to its complexity, cost, and operational risks. Automation and algorithmic improvements now offer practical solutions for broader deployment.
Private DNS data lakes consolidate fragmented logs into a centralised platform, improving visibility, security, and compliance. They enable advanced analytics, strengthen threat detection, and help organisations optimise network performance in increasingly complex IT environments.
Earlier this week, Poland’s new President, Karol Nawrocki, vetoed amendments to the Act on Assistance to Citizens of Ukraine, provoking debate over critical satellite connectivity. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski warned that the veto “de facto switched off Starlink for Ukraine,” potentially disrupting connectivity for hospitals, schools, and government operations.
Cybercriminals live by the tenet "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." They'll use the same tactics repeatedly until they no longer work, then switch things up. That's why CISOs and their security teams maintain constant vigilance. Underscoring this, recent analysis of global DNS activity found that new domains continue to be a major tactic for bad actors.
EU-based DNS Internet Infrastructure Beginning to Take Shape, Planned to Onboard 100 Million UsersAn analysis of DNS and WHOIS data tied to the PeckBirdy C&C framework uncovers expanded infrastructure, linking known IoCs to malicious domains, IPs, and email-connected assets across years of activity. more
As authorities pursue Black Basta's alleged leader, new analysis of campaign indicators reveals sprawling infrastructure, thousands of linked domains, and persistent ransomware tactics that rely on phishing, known vulnerabilities, and double-extortion pressure. more
An analysis of 46 DNS indicators tied to seven of Q4 2025's most prevalent malware families reveals early warning signals, coordinated campaigns and hundreds of connected artifacts, underscoring the predictive power of proactive threat intelligence. more
A sprawling ransomware campaign targeting Salesforce's SaaS supply chain topped 2025's breach rankings, exposing millions of records. Fresh DNS analysis uncovered 8,318 linked artifacts, revealing how overlooked indicators foreshadowed widespread, multisector disruption. more
An IoC deep dive into QakBot, newly ranked among 2026's top malware threats, reveals sprawling infrastructure, recycled domains, and fresh artifacts, underscoring how phishing-led access campaigns continue to endanger email-reliant enterprises worldwide. more
As AI agents gain delegated authority in enterprise systems, they introduce a new security frontier: ASM-AI. The real threat is no longer malicious code, but trusted bots making unsupervised, high-risk decisions. more
A stealthy phishing campaign known as PHALT#BLYX leveraged fake CAPTCHAs and BSOD screens to deploy DCRat, with forensic analysis uncovering widespread DNS misuse, typosquatting, and more than 21,000 email-connected domains. more
