Pharming

Pharming is a cyber-attack aimed at exchanging traffic from an official website to a different website. The second website is usually a copy of the original, designed to gather personal information such as credit card numbers. Pharming could be performed either by varying the hosts folder on a victim's computer or by misusing a weakness in DNS server software. Pharming involves undefended access to a target computer, such as a customer's home computer, rather than a corporate server.
