Everyone is Guilty, No One is Guilty
I think that the free association of guilt with cyberattacks with little to no evidence is dangerous.  Especially with the capacity of today's cyber-elite to mimic almost any originating source, governments must be more responsible with accusations.  In addition, we are not so naive as to think all governments are not guilty of politically motivated cyberattacks.  If not guilty today, guilty tomorrow.  Just as the Cold War set the tone for a new style of warfare, so has the Cyber War set another tone for political strategy.  We tire of it, but it is a reality.  So to the political spinners, keep us out of it.  Unless you have irrefutable proof, no one is guilty.  By pointing fingers and insisting on guilt you risk more than just a cyber war, you risk real war.   

Before this gets mistaken for a political comment, consider:  InfoSec is a business and the idea of putting customers in a secure position such that their working environments support their success is key to the success of the InfoSec industry.  However, when media leap onto stories and perpetuate government spin that points fingers in instances of cybercrime without fully subtantiated evidence, well, that simply pulls the industry down.  It's important that InfoSec leaders across the world keep to truthful narratives and not blow any particular cybercrime out of proportion, especially those involving governments.  We're good if we're simply reporting on what others are stating, but need to be clear on what is fact and what is coming from another horse's mouth.

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
