What is DNS Spoofing?

DNS spoofing, also called DNS cache poisoning, is an attack where attackers manipulate DNS records to redirect traffic from legitimate websites to malicious ones.

Prevention Measures:

  • Use DNSSEC to verify DNS responses.
  • Keep DNS servers patched and updated.
  • Monitor DNS traffic for anomalies.
  • Use trusted DNS providers with security features.

DNS spoofing can lead to phishing, malware distribution, and sensitive data theft if not properly secured.
