It's always good to view the certificate and always lookfor anomalies on a site (such as odd fonts, strange IP address,redirections, and so forth).  I received an email from Citibank once , and even though I do not havean account with them, I decided to take a look at the site for the funof it.  The dead and broken links throughout the site suggested to methat it was indeed a hoax.  Vigilance is key!-----Original Message-----From: daswani () learnsecurity com [mailto:daswani () learnsecurity com] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 3:25 AMTo: security-basics () securityfocus comSubject: Re: RE: DNS cache poisoning and pharmingThere are precautions that users can take to avoid becoming a victim toa pharming attack.Seehttps://www.pharming.org/
