The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is aware of a global Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure hijacking campaign. Using compromised credentials, an attacker can modify the location to which an organization’s domain name resources resolve. This enables the attacker to redirect user traffic to attacker-controlled infrastructure and obtain valid encryption certificates for an organization’s domain names, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.

CyberDudeBivash Analysis
This incident highlights critical weaknesses in [infrastructure / supply chain / identity management]. Attackers are moving faster than defenders – legacy defenses are failing fast. In 2026, AI acceleration is the new normal. Organizations without continuous monitoring and zero-trust segmentation are already compromised.
Recommended Immediate Actions
- Patch and harden exposed systems immediately
- Enforce MFA everywhere – no exceptions
- Deploy EDR/XDR with behavioral analytics
- Rotate all credentials and audit access logs
- Run threat hunting queries for IOCs
