Threat analysts at Palo Alto Networks (Unit 42) discovered that the phenomenon of 'domain shadowing' might be more prevalent than previously thought, uncovering 12,197 cases while scanning the web between April and June 2022.

Domain shadowing is a subcategory of DNS hijacking, where threat actors compromise the DNS of a legitimate domain to host their own subdomains for use in malicious activity but do not modify the legitimate DNS entries that already exist.
