As if “phishing” weren't bad enough, now we find ourselves dealing with “pharming.” Pharming has become a prevalent online scam and has been causing headaches for Internet users all over the world.
Also known as DNS poisoning or spoofing, pharming occurs when users are typing a legitimate website address into the address bar of their computer, but a virus redirects them to an imposter site. These imposter sites may look and seem like the real thing, but they are not.
These false sites entice users to enter personal information, such as credit card numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers, in an attempt to steal their identity. Unfortunately, this scam is likely to be the most effective identity theft method yet, because Internet users are in the driver's seat—they are just unaware that they've been taken down the wrong path.
Here are a few tips that will help you protect yourself from pharming:
For businesses, protecting your company's data is especially critical. Probably the most important things you can do to protect company information lie in being defensive and controlling access. For instance:
