This, combined with the large attack surface, make the DNS ecosystem an excellent (and frequent) target of attack. It’s constantly evolving to improve its efficiency, security, and function, such as DNSSEC. But each part of the DNS and its larger ecosystem has its own set of vulnerabilities, from bugs within the DNS protocol itself to how the DNS is deployed for operation. Hence, fixes for those vulnerabilities requires participation of all actors within the ecosystem—from registrants to registries, DNS operators to software developers, end users to governments—to play a role in ensuring the security of DNS and the internet.https://www.cscdbs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/DNS-ecosystem.png
