It&#x27;s completely unclear whether what you&#x27;re saying is factually correct. If the attacker controls the bank&#x27;s DNS, which seems likely given that they&#x27;re able to create an A record for a subdomain, they can likely also add TXT records for bank.com, which is what traditional CAs often use to verify ownership. They could probably also modify MX records to redirect confirmation emails to a server under their control.<p>Other CAs don&#x27;t have a magic solution that automatically detects malicious domains. Issuance of DV certs is completely automated at any major CA. There is no manual review unless the domain is on some kind of grey- or blacklist, and I highly doubt that they have a list of every domain used by a bank. There have been numerous counts of unauthorized certificates being issued by almost all CAs, what makes you think they&#x27;re somehow that much more smarter than Let&#x27;s Encrypt on this topic?
