Perl.com theft blamed on social engineering attack: Registrar 'convinced' to alter DNS records by miscreants

maybe 2014, or 2015, or thereabouts, TCS (my employer, Tata Consultancy Services) was "hacked" (1) the same way.

I'm really too lazy to look it up but I think that was also NetSol when that happened.

Looks like they haven't learnt any lessons or modified any of their processes to cover this!

(1) "hacked", in quotes because everyone said we got hacked and we had to go around explaining that it was actually the DNS provider that was "hacked"
