How to Avoid Online Frauds?: Pharming..

A combination of 'farming' and 'phishing', this term refers to the process by which a hacker gets a domain name for a site & then uses it to redirect this site's traffic to another, bogus website.

It can comp romise serious information & cause heavy losses if the site being copied is that of a bank or /  taxation department. It can also be used to steal passwords, PIN or / account numbers.


The best way to prevent this is to make sure you use secure Web connections (https) to access privacy-sensitive sites.
