DNS spoofing (or DNS cache poisoning) is a type of attack where an attacker alters DNS records to redirect traffic from a legitimate website to a malicious site.
• Used by attackers to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials, by redirecting users to a malicious version of a legitimate site.• Employed in man-in-the-middle attacks to manipulate the DNS resolution process.
Attackers corrupt the DNS cache, causing a user’s request for a legitimate website to be redirected to a malicious site without their knowledge.
DNS spoofing can lead to data theft, malware infection, and unauthorized access to sensitive accounts by redirecting users to malicious websites.
Organizations can use DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions), regularly monitor DNS servers, and educate users to verify URLs before entering sensitive information.
