DNS spoofing

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 is like changing the address in a phone book, so when you look up a name, you end up at the wrong location. For example, if you try to visit your bank's website, DNS spoofing could send you to a fake site that looks real, potentially allowing attackers to steal your personal information. It highlights the importance of cybersecurity and verifying web addresses before entering sensitive data.
