About APAC DNS Forum
The Asia Pacific Domain Name System Forum is a meaningful platform for the regional DNS community to network, exchange ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities in relation to the domain name industry. The forum enables regional DNS industry experts and the wider community to come together to discuss the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in the domain name marketplace.
Who is living off your domain name?
In his presentation, he focused on the threat of domain shadowing attacks, a technique where the threat actors exploit the reputation of legitimate domain names for malicious activities. These activities often include phishing schemes, malware distribution, and command and control (C2) operations.
By infiltrating trusted domains, attackers can bypass traditional security measures and reach unsuspecting victims, causing significant harm to both individuals and organizations.
A highlight of the presentation was the introduction of our project, ShadowFinder. This tool is designed to empower domain registrants by enabling them to detect deviations and anomalies under their domain names.
