Hackers exploit a blind spot by hiding malware inside DNS records

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-21 05:15:04

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.

That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man
