Many companies are not prepared to deal with DNS attacks, and a quarter of the ones that have already been hit reported significant losses, according to a survey conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of network security firm Infoblox.
Attacks on Domain Name System (DNS) services can have serious consequences, as demonstrated by the attack on Dyn last year. The attack, powered by the Mirai botnet, led to service disruptions for several major websites, including Twitter, GitHub, Etsy, Soundcloud, PagerDuty, Spotify and Airbnb.
