The network information for a workstation is as follows:
When the workstation's user attempts to access www.example.com, the URL that actually opens is www.notexample.com. The user successfully connects to several other legitimate URLs. Which of the following have MOST likely occurred? (Choose two.)
DNS poisoning is a technique where a hacker corrupts the DNS cache, causing users to be redirected to incorrect sites, which matches the scenario of www.notexample.com opening instead of www.example.com. Domain hijacking involves unauthorized changes to the domain registration, potentially leading to the wrong site being displayed when the correct URL is accessed. Both DNS poisoning and domain hijacking can explain why the user is directed to the wrong website while successfully connecting to other legitimate URLs.
DNS poisoning is a hacker technique that manipulates known vulnerabilities within the domain name system (DNS). When it's completed, a hacker can reroute traffic from one site to a fake version. And the contagion can spread due to the way the DNS works.
.. Domain hijacking is the act of changing the registration of a domain name without the permission of the original owner
I don't get it. If the DNS was poisoned or in the case of domain hijacking the user we see "www.example.com" not "www.notexample.com".
