Typosquatting & Malware

[Jerry E Kane]

Typosquatting - operating websites named similar to a legitimate website
(example- googkle.com, ghoogle.com or gooigle.com to mimic google.com) - these
websites rely on typographical errors to eploit the online search engines's
popularity so computer viruses and other malicious software can be unleashed on
unsuspecting visitors.

Malware-programs that can lead to recurring system crashes, wipe out
valuable data or provide a window to highly sensitive information.
