Re: Does Microsoft compare
On my Windows box I'm always having to remove malicious adware bundled with other legitimate downloads & I've noticed strange things with my keyboard - I see that you are experiencing the same - where all of a sudden, I never type in any vowels.  I am sure that you know how to spell/type in the word compare.  Yet, I bet that you have had to retype vowels in much of your typing.  No one has mentioned that yet.  On my old Linux boxes, I have way less trouble but I only use them in a more limited way.

Re: Does Microsoft compare
You are correct, Marilyn. Microsoft's SIR reports are all based on Windows threats and infections, and that's always Microsoft's focus in those reports.

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. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
