Solution

The DNS cache poisoning attack is dangerous because "It allows an attacker to redirect targets to malicious web servers." This means that when a user tries to access a certain website, they could be unknowingly redirected to a harmful site that could steal their information or infect their computer with malware. This is dangerous because it can happen without the user's knowledge, and they might trust the malicious site if it looks like the site they were trying to access.
