Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA): An algorithmic technique used by malware to generate numerous, pseudo-random domain names for resilient C&C communications.

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 ...

They can automate the process of obtaining domain names with a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA). However, to actually be able to use these domains, they also need to register them with a domain ...

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.

CISOs surveyed also express heightened concern over ransomware and AI-powered domain generation algorithms (DGAs), which 87% of respondents named as a direct threat.
