typosquatting
Misspelled website exploitation
Typosquatting is the practice of registering a Web domain name that is a common misspelling of a legitimate site’s name.
Typosquatting is used to attract users to a different site, where they may be offered a similar product or service, or where they may be exposed to malware.
