Any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet (where it is sometimes called a spybot or tracking software ), spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties . What is Spyware?
PHARMING Pharming油occurs when a油 hacker 油redirects website traffic from a legitimate website to the hacker's fraudulent website by油 exploiting 油 vulnerabilities 油in the油 Domain Name System 油(DNS). By corrupting a computer's knowledge of how a site's油 domain name 油maps to its油 IP address , the attacker causes the victim's computer to communicate with the wrong servera technique known as油 domain hijacking . By constructing a fake web site that looks like a legitimate site that might ask for the user's personal information ,
such as a copy of a油 bank 's website, the fraudster can " phish ", or steal by means of false pretenses, a victim's passwords ,油 PIN 油or油 bank account 油number. The combination of domain hijacking with a phishing website constitutes farming. Although many such sites use the油 Secure Sockets Layer 油(SSL) protocol to identify themselves cryptographically and prevent such fraud, SSL offers no protection if users ignore their web browsers' warnings about invalid SSL server 油 certificates . Such warnings occur when a user connects to a server whose SSL certificate does not match the address of the server.

In an油 online auction scheme , a fraudster starts an auction on a site such as油 eBay 油or油 TradeMe 油with very low prices and no reserve price, especially for typically high priced items like watches, computers, or high value collectibles. The fraudster accepts payment from the auction winner, but either never delivers the promised goods, or delivers an item that is less valuable than the one offeredfor example, a counterfeit, refurbished, or used item. Online retail schemes 油involve complete online stores that appear to be legitimate. As with the auction scheme, when a victim places an order through such a site, their funds are taken but no goods are sent, or inferior goods are sent
The best we can do is be aware of all the scam activities around us and keep our eyes open and take extra precaution!! Prevention is better than cure!!
