What is pharming?

Definition

A hacker's attempt to change/exploit the DNS settings of a server so that when you enter the address of a legitimate website, it redirects you to a fake/copy of the original site hosted somewhere else.

Implications

The user thinks that he/she is visiting the actual site because the name of the site will appear in the address bar, but the fake copy of the actual site is hosted on a server owned by the hacker/cyber criminal. This means all information entered on the 'hacked' site is stored on the sever owned by the cyber criminal.

Prevention

It is a must for banks and financial institutions to obtain an SSL certificate issued to the dedicated IP address of their secure online banking server(s). Modern browsers will then warn the user when the IP address changes. If the user ignores this warning, he/she will be responsible for his/her own losses.
