DNS poisoning is a cyberattack where a hacker alters a DNS (Domain Name System) entry to redirect you to a malicious website that’s posing as a legitimate one. Your browser unknowingly visits the fake website and then caches the malicious IP address for future visits. These altered DNS entries lead to a hacker-designed website that appears like the intended destination. The sites can potentially steal sensitive information, like passwords or financial data, or install worms or viruses onto your device.
