Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records

wired.com Dan Goodin 2025-07-29 08:30:00

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software.
