Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term for hackers who hijack legitimate Web sites and redirect users to other sites is Webjackers. A Trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as something useful or legitimate, but actually causes harm once it's installed on a computer. Denial-of-service attackers attempt to overwhelm a system with traffic, making it unusable for legitimate users. None of these terms describe the specific behavior of redirecting users from one legitimate site to another.
