Anonymizer today announced that its online identity protection products now protect against pharming, the most sophisticated Internet attack. Statistics from SANS Internet Storm Center show that at least 1,300 sites were compromised through pharming attacks in early March. Anonymizer’s online identity protection solutions proactively defend users against pharming attacks by routing all customer Internet traffic through Anonymizer’s protected DNS servers, which are secured against all known instances of pharming attacks. In addition, Anonymizer solutions intercept all browser requests before returning the page to the end user. Due to the fact that the user’s host file is never accessed, people using Anonymizer are protected from these vicious attacks.
