**DNS Poinsoning attack:**
- DNS (Domain Name Service) translates IP adresses to domains (like myetherwallet.com)
- When an attacker is able to change the entry in this service your URL seems okay but it is linked to the "malicous" IP. 
- The attacker sets up a phishing Site, which looks like the original one. With this the Keys can get harvested


**How to avoid getting scamed**

-  *Always* check the Certificate ! (Left side of your URL bar )

Please be aware to phishing attacks and stay safe !
