We may need to watch for this. I spotted this article on Mastodon titled Hackers exploit a blind spot by hiding malware inside DNS records and its written by Dan Goodin.
DNS is used to find out where a domain lives. It can have various types of records, and maybe we can talk about this when we go through NCSAM again this October.
Text records are such records, and I’m not exactly sure what they do. I understand it in practice, but never really understood how it all works.
But if any records can be used to hide malware, it could be bad news for all unsuspecting individuals just browsing to a site they know and love.

This stuff is going to happen more and more but then this wasn’t really news to the net, it is the real world except it doesn’t take a break.
