Experts call for upgrades to protect domestic services
Print Edition
Internet experts in China are calling for intensified efforts to safeguard the country’s domain name system.
Despite the malfunction, “.cn,” the national top-level domain name, was unaffected.
“We have tracked and analyzed the DNS and found that at least two of the 13 root name servers around the world were affected,” said Dong Fang, an Internet engineer with 360 Security Solution.
Li Xiaodong, the center’s executive director, called on the central government to spend more on the DNS infrastructure and said a quick-responding mechanism for emergencies is badly needed.
“We need to establish a monitoring system over DNS and response system for accidents,” Dong said. “Building root domain name servers in China should be completed as soon as possible.”
In December, more than 2.2 million Internet terminals in China were infected with viruses, while vandalism occurred on 6,823 websites and 6,171 sites were infected with “backdoors,” data from the national computer network emergency response team showed.
