Abstract

DNS Servers are kind of the internet's phone book. Without DNS, there wouldn't be possible to open a website and our
computer wouldn't know how to assign an internet address to a particular server. Currently, hackers are able to get an access to DNS servers and then transfer the information to their computers. The attacks with the use of DNS servers are very dangerous, as the main purpose of them is to spy sensitive information, such as passwords or PINs which allow the access to the online banks. In this article, there will be presented the danger of DNS service.
