[lac-discuss-es] [lac-discuss-en] [CPWG] Hijacked subdomains of major brands used for spamming

[[-- Translated text (en -> es) --]]

Michele,


 ¡Gracias por profundizar aún más en los precedentes! El problema de los "DNS pendientes" no es nuevo, de hecho, y hay suficientes como para que esta nueva campaña duradera esté activa estos días.


 Nuevamente para resumir lo que posiblemente sea de interés para LACRALO:


 1. Las organizaciones miembro deben comunicarse con sus equipos técnicos y asegurarse de que sus nombres de dominio estén bien administrados;
 2. las organizaciones miembro deben concienciar a sus miembros, a las organizaciones y al público en su entorno sobre el problema y asegurarse de que todos los demás adopten medidas correctivas adecuadas;
 3. Las organizaciones miembro podrían incluir la concientización y la prevención de este tipo de ataques en su alcance.


 Sin embargo, nada de esto es un problema de la ICANN.


 Alejandro Pisanty

The word ‘dangling’ always seems a bit comical to me. However, apply it to the world of the Domain Name System (DNS) and it becomes no laughing matter – but what does it mean? To understand what it is and the issues around dangling DNS, it’s important to first understand the basics of DNS. The...





The problem with large zones is that it becomes increasingly complex for companies and their staff to manage them and avoid these kind of issues.



It’s an interesting problem,  but it’s not an easy one to fix.
