Detection of strategically aged domains is detected. A list of aged dormant domains is determined, including by evaluating passive Domain Name System (DNS) information. The list of aged dormant domains is monitored for a change by an aged dormant domain from a dormant domain status to an active status. In response to determining the change to active status of the aged dormant domain, an action is taken with respect to the aged dormant domain.
