Explanation:
Some JavaScript commands are designed to show the victim an incorrectweb address. So let’s say Bob is a suspicious and vigilant kind of a guy. Before heinputs his username and password to authenticate and gain access to his online bankaccount, he always checks the URL values in the address bar of his browser. Eventhough he closely inspects it to make sure he is not getting duped, there could be a JavaScript replacing the URL www.citibank.com withwww.evilandwilltakeallyourmoney.com so he thinks things are safe and life is good.
