Pharming It involves re-directing users from a genuine website to websites that allow a pharmer or hacker to access data from the user’s computer or network. Infecting a user’s computer with a virus Direct users to fake websites Hacker can record the details entered by a user

Spamming Spam is also known as junk mail. It is send to fill your inbox and it tends to be more of a nuisance than a security threat unless you open a spam and follow the links they have in them. Your ISP probably has anti-spam filters and it may happen that legitimate s are sent to your spam but by recognising the account they will become legitimate.

Spyware It’s dangerous software that monitors and saves, in a file, all information typed on a user’s computer. The spyware then transmits the file to the person who installed the spyware. This could lead to passwords and important information being stolen.
