Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pharming involves redirecting users to a fraudulent website even when the user has typed in the correct address in the web browser. An individual can accomplish this by changing the hosts file of the web address that the user is trying to access or by exploiting a DNS server error. Both of which will allow the individual to convince the victim that they are accessing the website that they were trying to access, but instead they have been redirected to a website that looks identical but is owned by the individual. The victim then enters their valuable and private information into the website and the individual can see it all and use it as they wish. Usually, this is done to steal banking information.
