Answer:

DNS poisoning

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of attack is known as DNS poisoning it is a very common attack that focuses on trying to redirect users of the site that has been attacked towards fake servers. These fake servers belong to the attackers and are used to collect the user's private data, which can then be used by the attackers for a wide range of malicious acts. Aside from stealing user information, this malicious data travels alongside regular user data allowing it to infect various servers easily.
