United Kingdoms National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued an advisory warning UK citizens using computers and other Internet-connected mobile devices that large-scale DNS hijackings in the Internet are ongoing. NCSC defined DNS hijacking as an incident where DNS entries of an authoritative DNS server were edited by a 3rd party without permission. Such attack creates an unsafe environment for users, as their traffic gets redirected to a false website instead of the genuine website they wish to visit.”]
