This type of scanning looking for vulnerable BIND server is nothing new and has been ongoing for pretty much the past 20 years. Checking what might be exploitable, the last BIND advisory was released less than a month ago [1] and is remotely exploitable. This is an example of observable BIND Version scanning that could seen in DNS logs.


Coming back to DNS, yesterday the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) released an alert to provide guidance against "DNS hijacking and mitigation advice"[3] because of a continued ongoing large-scale campaign to hijack DNS servers. The original alert published in January 2019 is available here which highlighted that DNS A (Address) and NS (Name Server) records where the main target for hijacking.

If you have DNS servers within your environment, have a look at the document provided by NCSC available here.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
