Dangling DNS records were abused by researchers to hijack subdomains of major organizations, warning that thousands of entities are impacted. Thousands of organizations have vulnerable subdomains that could be exploited for malware distribution, spreading misinformation, phishing attacks, and social engineering. Cloud services providers and organizations need to take responsibility for preventing subdomain hijacking by verifying domain ownership and not immediately releasing previously used identifiers. Overall, the issue of dangling DNS records poses a significant risk to cybersecurity.
