Typosquatting (or URL hijacking) is a type of cyberattack where attackers create fraudulent websites with URLs that are similar to legitimate sites, relying on typographical errors made by users when typing web addresses.
• Used by attackers to trick users into visiting malicious websites that closely resemble legitimate ones, often for phishing or malware distribution.• Employed in brand impersonation attacks where attackers register misspelled domain names to steal credentials or financial information.
Attackers register domain names that closely resemble legitimate ones, hoping that users will make typos and visit the fraudulent website by mistake.
Users may inadvertently visit malicious websites and fall victim to phishing attacks, malware infections, or credential theft.
Users should carefully check URLs before entering sensitive information, use browser bookmarks for important websites, and rely on anti-phishing tools.
