Preface: Cyber security experts predict that global DNS hijacking activities are underway. However, it is not certain who is the attacker (the cyber attack group), FireEye said on January 9, 2019.

Background information:
This cybersecurity incident caught the attention of the Network Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Whereby, CISA released their first emergency order on January 22, 2019. They urge the world to understand the current situation (global DNS hijacking campaign). At the same time, they released a mitigation solution for mitigating DNS system.

My observation:
While DNS software is specially designed to fulfill one specific role, applications like Bind are incredibly flexible and can be used as hybrid solutions. However there are plenty of vulnerabilities ( high severity of risk) found on Bind system software.Please refer following url for reference:
