Best Answer

A technically sophisticated form of phishing, it is also known as DNS (Domain Name System) poisoning that involves the internet’s DNS. The hacker is able to reroute legitimate organic traffic to a spoofed webpage to capture data and valuable information without the user’s knowledge.

Many Antivirus software programs offer anti-phishing defenses, but ensure you check on this before you opt for them. So, buying an Antivirus Online protects you against viruses, spyware and malicious attempts. However, warding off a phishing attempt depends so much on your ability to call out a liar!

Ensure you download the best Antivirus software and keep the security of your computer and data intact as these imposters have different ways entering your Inbox and spamming you with emails and messages.
