Online gambling operators are sponsoring charities?? If only :(

We've identified a malicious gambling affiliate whose specialty is to buy expired domain names which used to belong to charities or reputable organisations.

Once they own a domain, they host a website impersonating its previous owner, where they claim to "deeply appreciate the support from [their] sponsors", which surprise surprise, all turn out to be dubious online gambling companies.

Because the domain they are taking over is often abandoned or managed by non-technical people, its previous owner often doesn't notify anyone that they've lost control of their website, so it continues being referenced in genuine content, and it continues getting traffic from old links scattered throughout the internet.

We've seen a high level of events being blocked in #Venezuela recently, including a domain belonging to the #Omnatour #Malvertising Network, which we wrote about last month: https://www.quad9.net/news/blog/trends-h2-2024-cyber-insights

Would love to hear from the community on what you might be seeing.

It's been a long time in the works, but now you can try out Fast Reload in our recursive #DNS resolver Unbound 1.23rc1. This feature allows the server to read the new config in a thread, and when done only briefly pause the server to update the settings.

De Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) voerde op 5 april 2024 nieuwe abusebestrijdingsregels in voor registry’s en registrars. Deze regels verplichten registrars en registry-operators om proactief op te treden tegen veelvoorkomende vormen van #DNS-misbruik. 12 maanden later lijkt het erop dat deze regels effectief zijn: de aanpak van DNS-abusemeldingen is zichtbaar effectiever geworden. Bewijs dat de maatregelen werken?https://www.sidn.nl/nieuws-en-blogs/abusebestrijdingsregels-icann-lijken-effectief

Is the sky fluxxing?! Last week a CISA advisory on DNS Fast Flux created a lot of buzz. We have an insider's take.

Fast Flux is a nearly 20 year old technique and is essentially the malicious use of dynamic DNS. It is critical that protective DNS services understand this -- and all other DNS techniques -- on that we agree.

What we also know as experts in DNS is that there are many ways to skin a cat, as they say.

Dans la série « on découvre toujours des choses sur le #DNS » : on ne peut pas utiliser "type stub" dans #BIND si les serveurs de noms sont dans la zone servie (stub ne charge que les noms, et ne peut ensuite pas les résoudre).

Je n'ai jamais réussi à retenir la différence entre stub et forward, je dois regarder la doc' à chaque fois.

Cloudflare's public #DNS resolver, 1.1.1.1, apparently did not implement it yet.

Somebody, somewhere must occasionally still be falling for the .cn domain name scam, one from simon@netdomains.net.cn inboxed here today.

See https://nxdomain.no/~peter/domain_name_scams_are_alive_and_well_thank_you.html for an overview of the shitheadery. #dns #scams #domainnamescam #cndomains #netdomains #cybercrime #spam
