Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt'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

Also never seen such a group that was afraid to take time and educate themselves, as I have been a big proponent of restoring the Office of Technology Assessment...that's a tool for all of them to use...but even if they did restore the office and get help on board how many would use it..the next question...what a bunch of "its for those guys over there" paradigms...

Want to catch a thief, well then think like one, want to catch a systems administrator, well then think like one. The side show the White House and Congress is running is indeed sad and there will be little support from technology companies because their politics are just walking all over folks like me with thinking they are superior when the truth is known it's the other way around. There's a great former Wall Street Quant who does a really good job with this and talks even about her days working at DE Shaw with Larry Summers. It is funny to hear her say and at the same time feel insulted when they would come back on all her hard futures work and want the charts in blue and red:) Nerds re never in control and she's right and thus so there will be little or no support to the government in the Snowden effort, self opinion included. Give Cathy's video a look and you won't be sorry and it's a good learning experience.

Sadly a while back I said myself that the White House cabinet was catching the digital illiterate GOP virus going around and it's about what we are seeing.
