ICANN Warns of 'Ongoing and Significant' Attacks Against Internet's DNS Infrastructure (techcrunch.com)
The internet's address book keeper has warned of an "ongoing and significant risk" to key parts of the domain name system infrastructure, following months of increased attacks. From a report: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, issued the notice late Friday, saying DNS, which converts numerical internet addresses to domain names, has been the victim of "multifaceted attacks utilizing different methodologies." It follows similar warnings from security companies and the federal government in the wake of attacks believe to be orchestrated by nation state hackers.
[...] ICANN's chief technology officer David Conrad told the AFP news agency that the hackers are "going after the Internet infrastructure itself." The internet organization's solution is calling on domain owners to deploy DNSSEC, a more secure version of DNS that's more difficult to manipulate. DNSSEC cryptographically signs data to make it more difficult -- though not impossible -- to spoof.

I thought it was more conventionally used the other way...

To try and force the internet to use DNSSEC
Index Article from ICANN ...in the context of increasing reports of malicious activity targeting the DNS infrastructure, ICANN is calling for full deployment of the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) across all unsecured domain names. The organization also reaffirms its commitment to engage in collaborative efforts to ensure the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet’s global identifier systems.

But if you really want to read an informative thread about the issue, hop on over to Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19239940
That place is always up to shenanigans.
That's not the same thing and I wasn't expecting to read a sensionalist headline here on /.
This advice is ridiculous, dangerous and irresponsible. DRC should know better.
Global deployment of DNSSEC without first addressing underlying transport issues (DNS over UDP without DNS cookies (RFC7873)) is guaranteed to have disastrous impacts on the availability of DNS itself and the Internet generally.

As FF would say:
Now is the time to migrate away from legacy infrastructure like ICANN and begin using alternative distributed means. Push all your name resolution into Tor/I2P/etc, and use something like namecoin as the authoritative domain service. Anyone can audit it, mitm would be much harder, and the frontend can still appear as DNS without UDP cookies thanks to it run over other transport layers internally. Getting initial seeds in some of these countries could be a problem, but if they are already worried about dns hijacking that will be the least of their worries.
ICANN has been a plague on the internet for 3 decades now, at an accelerating pace since the addition of new tlds. Let's finally do away with them once and for all.
You know which letters
Those working on Internet 3 are eliminating DNS. At least in it's current form. Any new version will be a heavily encrypted P2P version and may even include a blockchain model to make sure government and other corporations can't de-list a site.

you know, you *could* make a RSS feed. ... viola or more correctly voila, you got instant update capabilities without forcing user to download and execute a *exe file.
many torrent programs allow to subscribe to a feed from which they pull data that is needed to download a torrent.
so if you make your famous hosts file and seed it via a torrent and anounce this via rss
ofc you would have to guard the rss feed generator with your life ^_^
also if a magnet hash could be predicted ahead of time then one could reference it and the yet not created data it holds in a past magnet hash ... which would solve a big problem ^_^
Problem solved.
While the article is about valid conserns, these comments about using a hosts file that someone else built are most likely scams. It is the same as giving them access to your DNS.
Only ok ways to do it are to build it yourself or audit every line after every update. Only the completely gullible will use a hosts file from a random guy on the internet.
For years I've been saying the base hardware and protocols of the internet are insecure and no amount of security piled on top will save it.
Rebuild the internet (Internet II) from the hardware up, this time do it right, don't just patch it.
Go well
Yawn. You lost me at blockchain. That's not gonna secure shit, but it will waste enough spare computing resources to cure cancer twice.

Eventually people might actually check the SSL cert to be sure it looks legit!
The US government shutdown created an open season on website takeovers including DNS hijackings. DNSSEC did exactly zilch to protect against the DNS attacks, which it gets trotted out as a defense for. Don't believe the DNSSEC hype.
