That guy from LinkedIn - who used to be a used car salesman until he reinvented himself as a cybersecurity expert recently and blames every security incident on DNS and has very unhinged LinkedIn posts - apparently presented at Future of Financial Services... and nobody clocked what was happening.

To be fair, it IS always DNS. Unless it’s firewall in which case it’s DNS.

@jonw @GossiTheDog sometimes it's BGP
but it's easier to call that DNS for most crowds.

BGP keeps me awake at night. I think the only reason we don’t see more hijacks is that it’s beyond the complexity level of most script kiddies.
RPKI is coming along, but I doubt it will ever be widely enforced by providers, although this seems to get more green as time passes, so maybe we’ll get there yet.
Is BGP safe yet? · Cloudflare
On the Internet, network devices exchange routes via a protocol called BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Unfortunately, issues with BGP have led to malicious actors being able to hijack and misconfigure devices leading to security problems which have the potential to cause widespread problems. BGP security can be greatly improved by using technologies such as RPKI to sign Internet routes. This page attempts to track the progress of major Internet players (ISPs, transit operators, and content providers) in their progress to adopt RPKI and other technologies.
