If you knew about the rampant abuse by Russian threat actors that is directly correlated to financial crime and data breaches around the world, shame on you. Lalala shame on you.

This attack is unbelievably powerful, easy, and preventable. It’s the criminal’s best kept secret. Much stealthier and more effective than dangling CNAMEs. We found many Russian-nexus actors, but we suspect there are more to be found. Please boost for awareness and hope we aren’t rediscovering this attack in another 6 years. Thanks to everyone contributed to our understanding of the attack and the actors using it … including Proofpoint, @rmceoin Dave Safely, Mandatory, and @briankrebs @dnsoarc #sittingducks #dns #domainhijacking #cybercrime #cybersecurity #infosec #threatintel #malware #phishing #tds #vextrio #404tds #threatintelligence #infoblox @knitcode https://blogs.infoblox.com/threat-intelligence/who-knew-domain-hijacking-is-so-easy/
