Explanation

Pharming and phishing are the fraudulent internet activities in the list, both aimed at stealing personal details.

Statement 3 pharming redirects a user from a genuine website to a fake one to capture their data.

Statement 4 phishing uses fake emails or messages to trick people into revealing passwords or card numbers.

Statement 1 blogging is simply publishing posts online and is a legitimate activity.

Statement 2 booking a cinema ticket is a normal, honest online transaction.

Both pharming and phishing exploit trust, so users should check web addresses and never follow suspicious links.
