There are several sites (including some legitimate WI-FI networks) which may prompt the security dialogue box that was used in the example on the referred link. It's always good to view the certificate and always look for anomalies on a site (such as odd fonts, strange IP address, redirections, and so forth). I received an email from Citibank once , and even though I do not have an account with them, I decided to take a look at the site for the fun of it. The dead and broken links throughout the site suggested to me that it was indeed a hoax. Vigilance is key! -----Original Message----- From: daswani () learnsecurity com [mailto:daswani () learnsecurity com] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 3:25 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: RE: DNS cache poisoning and pharming There are precautions that users can take to avoid becoming a victim to a pharming attack.
