Pharming: Is Your Trusted Web Site a Clever Fake? URL: http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/phishing/pharming.mspx Description: Brief questions and answers about "pharming," the Internet scam in which "criminal hackers redirect Internet traffic from one Web site to a different, identical-looking site in order to trick you into entering your user name and password into the database on their fake site." The term is spelled with a "ph" because it is "part of an underground slang system." From Microsoft.
