8. DNS Spoofing.

DNS spoofing, also known as DNS cache poisoning, involves redirecting DNS queries to malicious sites. Cybercriminals manipulate DNS data to reroute users to fraudulent websites, often for phishing or malware distribution. This attack can lead to data theft or other forms of cybercrime.

To guard against DNS spoofing, use secure DNS services that offer encryption and authentication. Regularly clear DNS cache on devices and monitor network traffic for signs of suspicious activity. Implementing DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) can also help verify the integrity of DNS responses.
