Dear DNS experts,

In a research which we concluded in June 2023 we performed longitudinal
measurements (2020 - 2023) and analysis of abuse of dandling DNS records.
We characterize the abuse and the attackers' infrastructure with
recommendations for countermeasures.

The research will be presented at Usenix NSDI on 18 April 2024:
https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi24/presentation/friess

A summary of the research can be found here:
https://blog.apnic.net/2024/04/04/abuse-of-dangling-dns-records-on-cloud-platforms/

The technical report is here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.19368

We appreciate your feedback on our research.

Best, Haya Schulmann
