  • Abstract
    The author talks on how a recently discovered flaw in the Internet´s Domain Name System makes it easy for scammers to lure you to fake Web sites. It turns out to be easy for a malicious computer hacker to trick your browser into steering you anywhere he wants and then to pilfer sensitive information, like your user name, password, and credit card number.
