DNS Attack Could Signal Phishing 2.0
According to this article, researchers at both the Georgia Institute of Technology and Google are studying a new form of attack that is virtually undetectable and controls where victims go on the internet.
According to this article, researchers at both the Georgia Institute of Technology and Google are studying a new form of attack that is virtually undetectable and controls where victims go on the internet.
The study, set to be published in February, takes a close look at "open recursive" DNS servers, which are used to tell computers how to find each other on the Internet by translating domain names like google.com into numerical Internet Protocol addresses. Criminals are using these servers in combination with new attack techniques to develop a new generation of phishing attacks.
