More About Typosquatting

Typosquatting aims to take advantage of users who mistype URLs in their browser. By registering domains like “goggle.com” or “facebok.com”, typosquatters might display ads to visitors, redirect them to other sites, or even host phishing sites. This practice is generally seen as malicious and can lead to legal consequences if trademark infringement occurs.
