In June 2020, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck reported that hackers gained access to its domain registrar provider and hijacked its coincheck.com domain name.

The two incidents illustrate the growing threat of Domain Name System hijacking.

Via a registry lock, the registrar confirms any requested changes with the domain owner, to eliminate unauthorized and potentially risky changes to the domain.

That's why, more than ever, it's imperative to establish what we can call a Domain Security Council, in which a company's CISO collaborates with other C-suite members to identify and continuously monitor domain security practices and procedures.

The Domain Security Council should be accountable for updating the company on how this is happening and assessing the risk.
