pharming

[Dave Wilton]

In today's San Jose Mercury News:

"Pharming is a new scam that automatically directs computer users from a
legitimate Web site to a fraudulent copy of that site -- without any warning
signs. The fraudulent site collects passwords, credit card numbers or other
private information for potential misuse."
