No, the simplest (but far from the only) example is DNS injection.

My friend ended up having the URL to a fraudulent version of her online banking start getting auto-completed by her phone’s browser because they’d gotten her to click on some random SMS links a few times.

Website looked identical to the real one so they managed to easily get her one-time-codes. “For security purposes please enter the one-time-code we just sent you.”

No DNS injection. Just auto-complete and a reasonable URL and a convincing <title> in the HTML !
