- Pharming: a practice of directing visitors to a false website that mimics the real one with a goal to obtain personal information
- Intentional distribution of malware: one’s website gets misused in order to disseminate computer viruses
- Fast flux hosting: a vast number of different IP addresses are associated with a single domain name (i.e. the victim’s domain) and they are swapped in and out with extremely high frequency by changing DNS records. Most frequently, this practice aims to mimic phishing and malware delivery sites.
