What is Typosquatting?
Typosquatting is registering domain names that are common misspellings or mistypings of a legitimate brand’s domain.
Why businesses care
Customers who mistype your address can land on a site that harvests logins or sells counterfeit goods under your name.
Example
yourcompnay.com or yourcompany.co registered by someone else.How to check
Generate common typo variants of your domain and see which are registered, using the lookalike domain checker.
How to fix
Monitor variants, register the most likely ones, and report abusive sites to the registrar and host with evidence.
Common mistakes
- Assuming defensive registration of a few names is enough
- Ignoring alternative TLDs
