Tiki redirected to betting website: VNNIC recommends "locking" domain name

(Dan Tri) - In the context of cybercrime becoming increasingly sophisticated in its methods of implementation, domain names - strategic digital assets - are becoming the target of attacks by bad actors.

Users are redirected to a betting website when accessing the Tiki homepage using a computer (Screenshot).

Recently, on May 6, users accessing Tiki's official website were surprised to be redirected to a website with betting content.

This incident shows that domain name protection is very important for companies and organizations.

According to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC), if you consider a domain name as a house and do not use this protection service, bad guys can get the key (administrative account) to change the information.

The agency recommends that companies, agencies, and organizations use Registry Lock to protect domain names from unauthorized ownership attacks.

This is a service that prevents any unauthorized changes related to DNS servers, domain name owner information, domain name transfers, registrar transfers, and domain name deletion.

"This is the strongest security layer currently in the '.vn' domain ecosystem, equivalent to the high security standards of many developed countries such as Germany, France and Japan," said a representative of VNNIC.

According to statistics, there are currently more than 4,000 ".vn" domain names using Registry Lock, out of more than 650,000 active ".vn" domain names.

Therefore, VNNIC recommends that business organizations should use this service to protect their domain names, especially large brands. "We always recommend that entities using '.vn' domain names, especially large enterprises, proactively apply the highest security layers."

In addition to preventing theft of administrative information, Registry Lock also comprehensively protects the organization's digital ecosystem, because most important services such as websites, email, payment systems, or public service portals operate on domain name platforms.
