To do that, one group of hackers started using Registered Domain Generation Algorithms (RDGAs), which appears, unfortunately, to be working. Cybersecurity researchers from Infoblox Threat Intel ...

Hackers have started to adopt domain-generation techniques normally used by botnet-type malware in order to prolong the life of Web-based attacks, according to security researchers from antivirus ...

The software giant and partners across 35 countries cracked the Necurs domain generation algorithm (DGA), allowing the group to prevent the registration of new domains to be used in future attacks.

Malware authors are increasingly adopting flexible domain generation algorithms (DGAs) in order to evade detection and prevent their botnets from being shut down by security researchers or law ...
