DNS Spoofing

Cyber and Technology-Enabled Offenses

DNS spoofing, also called DNS cache poisoning, is a form of computer security hacking in which corrupted Domain Name System data is introduced into a DNS resolver's cache, causing the name server to return an incorrect result, such as the wrong IP address, to whoever queries it.

Has Offense Grade

Entity-backed identity for the offense-grade enum value this offense already carries, resolved to a crime concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The offense-grade fact itself stays on the offense unchanged.
