Yet, shedding light on a black hat tactic used to infiltrate WHOIS results for a domain name is complex and unique, as it is not a common occurrence.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153WHOIS\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/b> is a protocol that is used to verify who owns a unique domain name. Simply put, these records are available to everyone to create trust online through the visibility of the website owner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name, address, and phone number.&nbsp; Yet if website owner is interested in safeguarding their personal information, they are required to purchase the WHOIS server protection service.<\/p>\n<h3>WHOIS Server Hack \u00e2\u20ac\u201c A Quick Outline<\/h3>\n<p>Recently, a WHOIS service user got upset about the changes in his records, as well as email notifications he received that were carrying spam content. Research revealed that hackers had taken advantage of customers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 domain expiration by purchasing a previously legitimate <b>WHOIS server<\/b>. They then included arbitrary and unauthorized ads in this newly purchased old South African WHOIS server records.<\/p>\n<p>The country code .<strong>co.za<\/strong> is used for a top-level domain official in South Africa. A search to locate the official WHOIS server for the client (CNAME <strong>whois.coza.net.za<\/strong>.) came back with nothing wrong. But, the changes made in the WHOIS server contained details of what was changed and this was where things got really interesting.<\/p>\n<h3>WHOIS Server Showed Records of Spam Content<\/h3>\n<p>The WHOIS changelog demonstrated a new set of spam links that were included in all outgoing email notifications. Even though all the spam emails looked similar, there was a strong clue at the end of each email redirecting users to another site &#8211; &#8220;Why would queries go to whois.co.za instead of whois.coza.net.za?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Investigating the WHOIS Server<\/h3>\n<p>Researchers immediately ran a query to dig deeper on &#8220;whois victim-site.co.za whois: za.whois-servers.net:&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>You guessed it: the results indicated that the domain name had something to do with the issue. So, performing a root cause analysis by installing Brew with an updated version of WHOIS 5.2.12 caused a different result where the client information had been redacted.<\/p>\n<p>The fetched results paved the way to further narrow down on the real problem!<\/p>\n<h3>Scanning The Registry Website<\/h3>\n<p>On visiting the <b>WHOIS server<\/b> site \u00e2\u20ac\u201c hxxp:\/\/whois[.]co.za, it promptly redirected to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cwatch.comodo.com\/check-a-website-is-legit.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legitimate website<\/a>, https:\/\/www.registry.net.za\/whois\/ \u00e2\u20ac\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>However, upon visiting hxxp:\/\/www.whois[.]co.za, it redirected to a completely different site and numerous ads started to crowd the screen immediately. Bingo!<\/p>\n<p>This proved that whois.co.za domain \u00e2\u20ac\u201c was hacked.<\/p>\n<p>The DNS records were culled out and it showed that the bare domain and subdomain were configured to different servers.<\/p>\n<p>The hxxp:\/\/whois[.]co. za showed a clean version while hxxp:\/\/www.whois[.]co.za was spam-filled. Another WHOIS query was run and this time it clearly pointed out which server to use.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it was revealed that some hacker gained access into the domain whois.co.za and replaced it on April 22nd. Since then, clients started receiving unsolicited ads in their notification emails.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cwatch.comodo.com\/onboard-buyer-journey\/?product_plan=pro&amp;track=10110\u00c2\u00a4cy&amp;af=10110\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'Cwatch Blog', eventAction: 'Click', eventLabel: 'Get Now!'});ga('nT.send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'Cwatch Blog', eventAction: 'Click', eventLabel: 'Get Now'});\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Enterprise website security\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/cwatch-pro-new.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Outdated WHOIS Server<\/h3>\n<p>The problem occurs with versions of WHOIS older than 5.0.19. In 2009, the whois[.]co.za domain was removed in version 4.7.33. A hacker capitalized by purchasing it after the domain expired to send advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, WHOIS versions older than 5.0.19 will go on to see such messages when querying co.za domains. The issue has been reported to the South African registrar.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>All users need to keep track of their WHOIS records to stay rest assured that the hackers are not making any illegal changes or compromises to their <b>WHOIS server<\/b>.
