What is subdomain takeover?

When a DNS record points to a deprovisioned resource (like an unused SaaS hostname), attackers can claim it and serve content under your subdomain.

How to prevent takeovers

  • Remove stale CNAMEs/ALIAS records
  • Use provider verification and auto-cleanup
  • Continuously monitor DNS changes

Tool-specific questions

Which providers are commonly abused?

Static hosting, CDN, and SaaS providers where resources can be reclaimed by other users. Keep your inventory up to date.

Can wildcard DNS cause issues?

Yes. Wildcards can mask stale records and broaden risk. Prefer explicit records.

How do I detect stale CNAMEs?

Maintain a DNS inventory, scan for providers' known takeover fingerprints, and remove records pointing to deprovisioned resources.
