Domain name system (DNS)

The most recent big DNS cache poisoning attacks have been on the cryptocurrency websites MyEtherWallet and Trezor. Those websites help users keep track of their cryptocurrency investments, and they store user credentials that are used for buying and selling.

Why would cyber criminals want to DNS spoof a cryptocurrency website?

(Choice A)
They can log into the website servers and retrieve the money-related credentials.
(Choice B)
They can hold the domain name for ransom, and only give it back if the website pays them a lot of money.
(Choice C)
They can steal all the code for the website from the company's servers and run their own version of it.
(Choice D)
They can direct those websites to fake websites that ask users for secure information that they can then use on the real website.
