So it is like "phishing website" but there is a slight difference.
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”).
Examples: Phishing email / Phishing website
Generic greeting. Phishing emails are usually sent in large batches. ...
Forged link. Even if a link has a name you recognize somewhere in it, it doesn't mean it links to the real organization. ...
Requests personal information. ...
Sense of urgency.
That's what I know about it too, it is more of like phishing website or brandjacking. They are trying to mislead the people with a single error on the typo, most used letter is lowercase i for l, some are changing the lowercase d with letter cl and some letters are being deducted that you won't notice it easily.
Again, this is why bookmarks are important.
Making an error in typing it then just using the google finds everyday could be a large risk when someone mimics the website.
Same goes to where we get our information.
Bookmark those legitimate ones to avoid mistakes.
Yeah, you'll see the importance of bookmarking in incidents like this, and also the saving of websites password to trusted websites. With bookmark you can basically distinguish if the website you trying to get in is the one you have used before. You can just put it on your favorites by clicking the unfilled star at the end of the whole search bar, so it will be added to your web starts.
