The Full Story

Severity: Critical Mood: Frustrating

Just when you thought your DNS filters were doing something useful, the Underminr vulnerability arrives to ruin eighty-eight million domains by hiding malicious command-and-control traffic. This marvelous flaw allows hackers to masquerade as trusted entities, making our expensive security perimeters look like absolute cardboard. Shielding our vulnerable networks from this invisible traffic means we must stop relying blindly on DNS-based trust. Perhaps one day we will learn that trusting eighty-eight million things at once is a recipe for an early retirement.
