URL Cloaking

A technique that involves masking a URL to conceal its true destination. By using a malformed link, which triggers vulnerability in Internet Explorer, a URL is displayed in the address bar, which loads the contents of another Web site. The malicious Web site can thus control what is seen in the address bar.
