DNS emerges as the frontline of cyber defense, empowering enterprises to detect, prevent, and outpace AI-driven threats before they strike.

New Infoblox Threat Intel research reveals that a long-running threat actor compromising websites, coined as “Detour Dog,” has evolved from scam redirects to deliver information stealing malware.

The cyber world never hits pause, and staying alert matters more than ever. Every week brings new tricks, smarter attacks, and fresh lessons from the field.

A threat actor named Detour Dog has been outed as powering campaigns distributing an information stealer known as Strela Stealer. That's according to findings from Infoblox, which found the threat actor to maintain control of domains hosting the first stage of the stealer, a backdoor called StarFish.

Attacks involving server-side DNS exploitation have enabled cybercrime operation Detour Dog to inject the Strela Stealer malware into more than 30,000 websites worldwide, most of which are in the U.S., according to HackRead.

EIGHTY per cent of Singaporeans believe they can spot a deepfake video, but only 25 per cent actually can. That’s the stark finding from a survey by Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) released in July, and it should serve as a national wake-up call.

Hackers are using AI to supercharge domain-based attacks, and most companies aren’t nearly ready to keep up. Among the numerous cyber threats that enterprises must contend with, domain-based attacks hold a prominent position.

Infoblox's 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report highlights a dramatic rise in DNS-based cyberattacks, with threat actors increasingly leveraging AI-driven deepfakes, malicious adtech, and evasive domain strategies, The Fast Mode reports.

DNS is once again in the crosshairs of threat actors. According to the 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report by Infoblox, attackers are changing tactics, and enterprises are feeling the pressure.

Infoblox has shared its 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report, revealing a significant rise in DNS-based cyber threats. The report indicates that of the 100.8 million newly observed domains, 25.1 per cent were classified as malicious or suspicious, while 82 per cent of environments encountered domains linked to malicious adtech.
