[CPWG] Hijacked subdomains of major brands used for spamming

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

Carlton

This issue was flagged a long time ago by multiple organisations, including Nominet:
https://nominetcyber.com/dangling-dns-is-no-laughing-matter/

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.

Regards

Michele
