ViewDNS.info Launches Monitors, Alerting Teams the Moment Something Changes on Their Domains
Washingtoner/10340289

MELBOURNE, Australia - Washingtoner -- ViewDNS.info, a leading provider of domain and IP intelligence tools and APIs, today announced the launch of ViewDNS Monitors, a new service that continuously watches domains and alerts users the moment something changes.

Changes to domain infrastructure often happen silently. A DNS record is repointed, registration details are updated, a new subdomain appears, or a look-alike domain is registered ahead of a phishing campaign. Too often, these changes are only discovered after the damage is done.

"Most domain threats announce themselves before they strike, through a new registration, a DNS change or a fresh subdomain," said Michael Hughes, Director of ViewDNS.info. "Monitors makes sure our users see those signals first."

Five Monitor Types

• DNS Monitors alert users when DNS records change, catching hijacked records, unauthorized changes and misconfigurations.
• WHOIS Monitors track changes to WHOIS and registration details, including registrar transfers and nameserver changes.
• Subdomain Monitors flag newly discovered subdomains on a watched domain, powered by ViewDNS's active and passive DNS detection.
• Brand Monitors detect newly registered domains matching a user's brand terms, exposing typosquats and impersonation domains the day they are registered.
• Registrant Monitors alert users to new domains registered by a specific name, email address or organization, helping analysts track threat actor infrastructure.

Every monitor can send alerts by email, webhook or Slack, delivering changes straight to a security inbox, SIEM or SOAR pipeline, or team channel. Each alert links to a full change history in the ViewDNS dashboard.

ViewDNS Monitors is built for security operations, threat intelligence, brand protection and attack surface management teams, as well as IT administrators responsible for domains and DNS.
