Why It’s Important to Protect Not Only the Website but Also DNS Records

Protecting DNS records is just as important as securing the site itself.

Website security is traditionally associated with protection from hacks, viruses, or DDoS attacks, but in reality, there is another critically important element that even experienced website owners often overlook. This refers to DNS records — the fundamental mechanism that ensures users land on your legitimate website rather than a malicious copy created by attackers. DNS, or the Domain Name System, is the system that translates human-friendly domain names into technical IP addresses. Essentially, it is the “phone book” of the internet. If DNS works incorrectly or is modified by an unauthorized party, your website may become inaccessible, visitors may be redirected to phishing pages, and domain mail services can become completely blocked. This is why DNS protection is just as important as safeguarding servers or web applications.

Vulnerability of infrastructure on which millions of websites depend

When a small website goes down, it’s a problem only for its owner. But when Cloudflare, one of the largest infrastructure service providers on the internet, goes down, the problem becomes global. The latest outage once again demonstrated that the modern internet depends on Cloudflare far more than it may seem at first glance. Tens of thousands of websites stop loading, some applications behave unpredictably, and even major international platforms fall into digital “darkness.” This is not just a technical incident — it is a reason to reevaluate your architecture and understand how the internet works today.

Outdated security systems may seem like protection—until they’re put to the test

In the modern world, the issues of cybersecurity and protection of important facilities are extremely urgent. However, many people still treat the updating of security systems lightly — as if “it works, so it’s fine.” Practice shows that a system that has not been updated for years turns into a time bomb. A vivid proof of this is the recent high-profile robbery in one of the most famous museums in the world.

HTTPS has become an important trust signal and ranking factor for websites on Google

The Internet today is not just a network of websites — it’s an entire ecosystem where security, trust, and user convenience have become key indicators of quality. One of the most visible elements of this security is HTTPS — a protocol that ensures secure data exchange between the user and the website. If in the past HTTPS was associated exclusively with banking services or online stores, now it has become the standard for any modern website. Google has long established that the presence of an SSL certificate — which enables HTTPS — affects not only user safety but also a website’s position in search results.

Verifying information and critical thinking when using ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a powerful tool that generates text-based answers from a vast dataset, but it is not a database of facts. It produces plausibly sounding responses (answers that seem convincing and logical, even if they may be inaccurate or fabricated) by relying on language patterns. This means that even when answers sound confident, they may still be false or incomplete. Reviews show that the model can make mistakes in simple questions and continue making them even after corrections. This means its conclusions should be treated as suggestions rather than absolute truth. That is why it is important for users to follow safety rules and verify the information.
