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.
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.
EU-based DNS Internet Infrastructure Beginning to Take Shape, Planned to Onboard 100 Million UsersQ1 2026 domain activity showed registrations concentrated in a handful of TLDs, with 6.7 million new domains flagged as malicious, offering fresh insight into global DNS patterns and cybersecurity risks as shifting registration trends reshape. more
A retrospective analysis of 2025's top ransomware groups reveals how DNS traces, historical WHOIS records, and network IoCs exposed hidden infrastructure, affiliate activity, and thousands of potential victim connections linked to major cybercriminal operations. more
An analysis of 191 network indicators tied to eight Iran-affiliated APT groups uncovered malicious domains, active infrastructure, thousands of victim-linked IP interactions, and coordinated DNS activity, revealing the breadth and persistence of Tehran-linked cyber operations amid escalating regional tensions. more
WhoisXML API analysis deepens understanding of the UAT-8099 campaign, uncovering expanded DNS infrastructure, early indicators of malicious intent, and thousands of linked artifacts, underscoring the group's evolving tactics and regional focus across Asia. more
Researchers tracing the ForceMemo campaign uncover a sprawling DNS footprint, linking compromised GitHub repositories to suspicious domains, shared infrastructure and fresh artifacts, suggesting a coordinated operation that continues to evolve despite partial attribution. more
Keenadu backdoor embedded in Android firmware exploits supply chains and OTA updates, while DNS analysis of its infrastructure reveals coordinated domains, IP links, and early warning signals pointing to premeditated, scalable cybercriminal operations globally distributed. more
MuddyWater's Operation Olalampo targets MENA entities using new malware and Telegram-based control, as DNS analysis uncovers fresh infrastructure, thousands of linked domains, and expanded indicators pointing to a broader, coordinated campaign. more
