The United Kingdoms National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released an advisory about an ongoing Domain Name System 
(DNS) hijacking campaign. The advisory details risks and mitigations for organizations to defend against this campaign, 
in which attackers use compromised credentials to modify the location to which an organizations domain name resources 
resolve to redirect users, obtain sensitive information, and cause man-in-the-middle attacks.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages administrators to review the NCSC Advisory [ 
https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/ongoing-dns-hijacking-and-mitigation-advice ], apply the recommended mitigations, and 
refer to CISAs Alert AA19-024A  DNS Infrastructure Hijacking Campaign [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/AA19-024A ] 
for more information.
