Domain Name Server (DNS) spoofing (a.k.a. DNS cache poisoning) is an attack in which altered DNS records are used to redirect online traffic to a fraudulent website that resembles its intended destination.

DNS poisoning poses several risks to individuals and organizations alike. One of the biggest risks associated with DNS poisoning is that once a device has fallen victim to it, especially DNS cache poisoning, it can become very difficult to resolve the issue because the device will default to going back to the illegitimate site.

Furthermore, DNS poisoning can be extremely difficult for users to detect, particularly in cases where hackers make the fake website to which they direct traffic look almost identical to the real one. In these cases, users are likely to have no idea the website is actually a fake and will input sensitive information as normal without realizing they are exposing themselves and/or their organizations to serious risk.
