Typo squatting (a.k.a. URL hijacking): This involves registering a domain name that closely resembles another legitimate domain but with minor typographical errors. Malicious parties employ this tactic to trick users who mistype a web address into visiting a deceptive site, often to perpetrate scams, spread malware, or harvest personal information.
