Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.

They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for.
