The answer is "Pharming".

The expression "pharming" is a a newly coined word in view of the words "farming" and "phishing". Phishing is a kind of social-designing attack to get to certifications, for example, client names and passwords. Lately, both pharming and phishing have been utilized to pick up data for online identity fraud. Pharming has happened as a real worry to organizations facilitating web based business and online banking.
