MELBOURNE, Australia - BostonChron -- 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.
