I'm surprised Akamai didn't have any alerting in place to tell Mastercard that the nameservers they had configured were wrong.
You'd think there would be a service that informs you if any of your DNS servers are unregistered, let alone point to a server they shouldn't point to. What's more surprising to me is that every Fortune 1000 company, at the very least, hasn't either used that service or deployed such automated checks themselves, so that this wouldn't be an issue at all.
