Why is pharming cost effective?

Pharming is cost-effective mainly due to its ability to redirect a large number of users to fraudulent sites without the need for extensive individual targeting, as seen in phishing attacks. By exploiting vulnerabilities in DNS servers or manipulating users' systems, cybercriminals can reach a wider audience with minimal investment. Additionally, once the pharming infrastructure is set up, it can operate with low maintenance costs, allowing for sustained financial gains over time. This efficiency makes pharming an attractive option for cybercriminals.
