3. Pharming Pharming is yet another way hackers attempt to take advantage of users on the Internet. Whilst phishing attempts to take personal information by getting users to visit a fake website, pharming redirects users to false websites without them even knowing it. A typical website uses a domain name for its address; its actual location is determined by an IP address. One way that pharming takes place is by an e-mail virus that "poisons" a user's local DNS cache. It does this by changing the DNS entries. An example of pharming is instead of having the IP address 17.254.3.183 direct to www.apple.com, it may direct to another website created by the hacker. Pharmers can also poison entire DNS servers, which means any user that uses the poisoned DNS server will be redirected to the wrong website.
