A method of redirecting Internet traffic to a fake website through domain spoofing. This involves creating a fake DNS record for a real website, typically that of a bank or other commercial enterprise. The fake DNS redirects traffic from the real website to the fraudulent site, with the intention of gathering a customer's personal data, including username, password, and account information. For example, when a user types the URL of a bank into a browser, the browser performs a DNS lookup to determine the IP address of the bank's website. DNS servers store a list of domains and their corresponding IP addresses. Hackers insert false information on the DNS server so browsers looking up bank's IP address are redirected to the fake IP address. On the user's browser, the site appears legitimate.
