NWW: First Case of ‘Drive-By Pharming’ Identified in the Wild

Drive-by pharming, in which a hacker changes DNS settings on a customers broadband router or wireless access point, has been observed in the wild. Symantec: The attack is silent and there’s only subtle telltale signs that it’s occurring.

The simplest defense is to make sure home routers of any type have the default password settings changed, says researcher Zulfikar Ramzan.”]
