DNS Spoofing is a cyber attack where a malicious actor alters the Domain Name System (DNS) records to redirect users from a legitimate website to a fraudulent one. This can happen when attackers compromise a DNS server or manipulate the DNS cache, leading users to unknowingly visit harmful sites. The goal of DNS spoofing is often to steal sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card details. Users may not realize they are on a fake site, as it can closely resemble the original. Protecting against this threat involves using secure connections and regularly updating security software.
