The illegal redirection (redirect) to a fake website of a bank with the aim of intercepting username and password (an attack in which a user can be fooled into entering sensitive data such as a password or credit card number into a malicious website that impersonates a legitimate website). – A popular method is to affect the host file locally. This involves using a Trojan or a virus to manipulate the system in a targeted manner, with the result that only fake websites can be accessed from this system, even if the address is entered correctly. – See financial agent, sledgehammer attack, IT risks, purchase orders, unauthorized, phishing, legal risks.
