DNS - The Lifeblood of your Domain

CrowdStrike's blog post provides a detailed account of the Syrian Electronic Army's (SEA) recent attack on the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure, affecting several high-profile targets. The SEA, identified by CrowdStrike as DEADEYE JACKAL, is associated with pro-Assad regime activities and has employed tactics such as spear phishing and social media account hijacking to spread propaganda and cause confusion. The recent attack involved redirecting domains of major media outlets to adversary-controlled servers, utilizing compromised registrar accounts. CrowdStrike emphasizes the importance of using registrar and registry locks to protect domain names from unauthorized changes. The post highlights DNS's critical role as the internet's "phone book" and the need for robust DNS infrastructure to withstand DDoS attacks. CrowdStrike invites inquiries for further information on DNS protection and DEADEYE JACKAL's activities.
