Hi,

    1. I know y'all know it, but too often I come across customers using CDN Dashboard without 2FA.

    In my experience this has been the most abused security vector in the cases I saw.


    2. Matthias point is extremely valid.

    I would add: Externally monitoring the signature of the non static objects (html, javascript) returned by the CDN.

    While you can easily recover from image defacing, having your customers getting their private information (creds, identity, CC) stolen is another ball game.

While the change from A to CNAME itself is probably not based on security considerations, a CNAME pointing to a CDN or similar can result in future security issues, i.e. you want to closely monitor your externally pointing CNAMEs when you get rid of external services: https://www.hackerone.com/blog/Guide-Subdomain-Takeovers

Interesting. We got a few requests at the same time which is what made we wonder. I wanted to make sure that there wasn't something I was missing.

    *Subject:* CNAME records in place of A records
    Hi,

    Sorry if this is a bit OT. Recently several different vendors (in
    completely different fields) where they white label for us asked us
    to remove A records that we have going to them and replace them with
    CNAME records. Is there anything *going around* in the security
    aranea  that has caused this?
