What happens if you set your name servers to e.g. Digital Ocean then go to Digital Ocean and try to add your domain name there but you find that an attacker has already created that domain name under their account? They were watching the name server records on your domain.
- sybercecurity 2y agoI'd change the registration info at the registrar - park the zone if you must. That would at least stop the attack from continuing (caches would still have the attacker's responses). The best defense is to set up the delegation at the host first, then set up the delegation information at the registrar. A stub zone is could be run indefinitely (as long as there were no name collisions) before a formal delegation from a TLD is set up. Gives you time to set things up the way you want before it is reachable from global DNS tree.
- vel0city 2y agoI always set up at least the basics of the zone first, then point the nameservers. Why would you point to nameservers that know nothing of the zone?!
