'''Increased DNS security thanks to Afilias'''

According to MyHostNews, <ref>[http://www.myhostnews.com/2010/10/afilias-increases-dns-security-with-dnssec/ Afilias Increases DNS Security with DNSSEC]</ref> Afilias has managed to recently increase DNS security of several [[ccTLD]]s by enabling [[DNSSEC]] (Domain Name System Security Extensions) to them. The [[ccTLD]]s that received [[DNSSEC]] are the following: [[.VC]] (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), [[.LC]] (St. Lucia), [[.HN]] (Honduras), [[.BZ]] (Belize) and [[.AG]] (Antigua and Barbuda). The important event took place on October 5th, 2010.

Afilias has managed to implement [[DNSSEC]] for many of its [[ccTLD]]s and [[gTLD]]s. Its [[.org]] [[TLD]] was secured with DNSSEC in 2009, making it the first open TLD to implement these important security measures.<ref>[http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/060209_Afilias_Secures_org_TLD_with_DNSSEC The Whir]</ref>  On October 5th, 2010 it initiated the new security measures for [[.VC]] (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), [[.LC]] (St. Lucia), [[.HN]] (Honduras), [[.BZ]] (Belize) and [[.AG]] (Antigua and Barbuda).<ref>[http://www.myhostnews.com/2010/10/afilias-increases-dns-security-with-dnssec/ Afilias Increases DNS Security with DNSSEC]</ref> Mo

 

 

The cyberspace security has been under attack by a number of threats, including [[DNS redirection]], [[cache poisoning]], [[pharming]] and [[phising]]. In order to counter these problems, Afilias has enabled [[DNSSEC]] for the [[.org]] [[TLD]].<ref>[http://dns.tmcnet.com/topics/dns/articles/110550-orgs-new-practice-safe-dns-campaign-counter-internet.htm DNS – .ORG's New 'Practice Safe DNS' Campaign to Counter Internet Abuses in More Efficient and Effective Manner]</ref>
