What is "Pharming" in the context of cybersecurity?

  1. Planting malware through email attachments

  2. Redirecting users to a fake website

  3. Unauthorized access to data

  4. Intercepting network traffic

The correct answer is: Redirecting users to a fake website

In cybersecurity, "Pharming" refers to the practice of redirecting users to a fake website without their knowledge or consent. This technique is commonly used by attackers to trick users into entering sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or financial details on the fake website, thereby compromising their privacy and security. Planting malware through email attachments, unauthorized access to data, and intercepting network traffic are all different cybersecurity threats but do not specifically relate to Pharming.
