    The Cyber Threat Blind Spot: Domain Risk - Ep 161

    In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, host Rob Aragao sits down with cybersecurity executive and domain security expert Ihab Shraim to spotlight one of the most overlooked yet critical areas of cyber risk—fraudulent domain registrations and DNS hijacking. As the digital attack surface expands, bad actors are exploiting unmonitored domain portfolios and exposed DNS infrastructure to launch phishing campaigns, malware distribution, and business email compromise—all while flying under the radar of traditional security tools. Ihab explains why domain risk is a foundational weakness in many organizations' security postures and argues that without domain security, cybersecurity is incomplete. From shadow IT and orphaned domains to poor DNS hygiene and lack of domain portfolio governance, Ihab outlines the blind spots that make companies vulnerable—and provides actionable strategies CISOs and security leaders must adopt to regain control. Whether you're managing brand reputation, protecting customer trust, or looking to tighten your security fundamentals, this episode delivers an eye-opening exploration into why domain risk needs to be a board-level conversation. Key Takeaways: Why domain name portfolios are a high ROI target for cybercriminalsThe dangers of DNS exposure and subdomain hijackingHow social media abuse and unauthorized resellers magnify brand riskWhy domain monitoring, locking, and defensive registrations are essentialThe case for making CISOs accountable for domain strategy and protection Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.

This flaw is classified as a remote code execution vulnerability with an extremely high CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System ) score of 9.8, making it highly dangerous. Featuring Tyler Moffitt, Senior Security Analyst at OpenText Cybersecurity, the episode explores the severity of this 9.8 CVSS score vulnerability and its impact on organizations that haven't applied the necessary patches. Learn about the attack kill chain, what makes this flaw so dangerous, and practical steps to safeguard your systems.
