Drive-by pharming
An attacker changes the configuration of a home router when a user visits a malicious web site
The site uses malicious javascript allowing an attacker to log in
If the default password has not been changed the attack is typically successful
Once logged in, the attacker can change the routerÅfs configuration, including DNS server settings
The router is redirected to a DNS server of the attackerÅfs choice
