GoKawiilGoogle Domains and ccTLDs Hijacked via DNS Record Compromise
Hackers gained control over DNS records for Google domains and ccTLDs in Ghana, American Samoa, and Sierra Leone by infiltrating third-party registries. They obtained valid HTTPS certificates for these domains, enabling impersonation and malicious content delivery. Google responded by revoking the certificates and working with authorities to prevent further misuse, affirming that its own systems remained unaffected.
