Phishing morphs into pharming

Today is the first time I had heard the term "pharming". This article over a month old but it explains pharming.

The surprising thing is that I came across the word in a quote from a Senator who was introducing an anti-phishing act (it would also cover pharming). Maybe the Senate finally has some staffers who understand the Internet and are giving some good advice. Or maybe some Senators are listening to their constiuents and are hearing their concerns. Glory be! Now somehow the DMA and the RIAA will get involved and trash it ;-).
