2. The medium-risk risk is mainly to control user networks, including DNS hijacking and ARP attacks. Among them, DNS attacks can control the user's internet access range, causing users to be unable to access network or link to malicious URLs. The process of ARP attacks is different, but the results are similar, which can also cause user network interruption.
