I find myself fond of DNS, as I’m sure most of you do. After all, if we had to search up websites by their IP address instead of putting in a name, we’d be less thrilled about actually using the Internet. What would you remember more
While DNS has been nothing but convenient for us, there is a certain risk in the way that DNS works and is implemented. Security-wise, DNS is at risk of what is known as “cache poisoning”, also known as DNS spoofing. While this can be harmless, cybercriminals have used this form of sabotage as a way to trick users into visiting the wrong sites. So, what is it, how does it work, and how can you avoid it?
