Pharming – One of the deadly sins of online safety

In this digital age, as technological innovations continue to transform the world, cybercrime does its best to keep up. Just as one technique of cybercriminals is exposed and catered for, they move onto the next one.

“Pharming” is a typical example. The term “pharming” is based on the words “farming” and “phishing.”

It’s an advanced version of phishing where the victims are trapped without any particular bait for the same purpose as they are in phishing – stealing confidential information.
