Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Pharming most often takes place via a company's DNS server, which routes Web page requests corresponding to company URLs. The pharmer changes the IP addresses used in conjunction with a particular company's URL (called DNS poisoning) so any Web page requests made to the legitimate company URL are routed via the company's poisoned DNS server to a phony Web page located on the pharmer's Web server.
