Typosquatting, also known as URL hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting (sitting on sites under someone else’s brand or copyright) that targets Internet users who incorrectly type a website address into their web browser (e.g., “Gooogle.com” instead of “Google.com”).

When users make such a typographical error, they may be led to an alternative website owned by a hacker that is usually designed for malicious purposes.
