Subdomain takeover: 12 Ways to Prevent this Attack

Feb 20, 2025 By Eyal Katz In Spectral
Subdomain takeovers don’t happen because attackers are geniuses. They happen because DNS records get messy. It’s not exactly an exciting gig to track old services or clean up unused subdomains, but ignoring it creates a security hole you can’t afford. Microsoft discovered over 670 vulnerable subdomains in a single audit. On a larger scale, 21% of DNS records out there lead to unresolved content, and 63% of those throw ‘404 not found’ errors.

Command and Control Attack Detection: How to Stop Them

Feb 19, 2025 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
To defeat the enemy, you must first disarm their ability to communicate. Command and Control (C2) attacks remain one of the most persistent cybersecurity threats, enabling adversaries to communicate with compromised systems undetected. Attackers use C2 servers to send commands, exfiltrate data, and maintain long-term access to networks. These stealthy techniques allow them to deploy ransomware, steal sensitive information, and even conduct cyber espionage.
