Typosquatting, also called URL hijacking, sting site, or fake URL, is a form of cybersquatting, and possibly brandjacking which relies on mistakes such as typographical errors made by Internet users when inputting a website address into a web browser. Should a user accidentally enter an incorrect website address, they may be led to any URL (including an alternative website owned by a cybersquatter). ==Overview== The typosquatter's URL will usually be one of four kinds, all similar to the victim site address: (In the following, the intended website is "example.com") * A common misspelling, or foreign language spelling, of the intended site: * A misspelling based on typing errors: xample.com or examlpe.com * A differently phrased domain name: examples.com * A different top-level domain: example.org * An abuse of the Country Code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) :example.cm by using .cm A person forgetting or mistakenly not typing the letter o in .com could arrive at the fake URL's website. Once in the typosquatter's site, the user may also be tricked into thinking that they are in fact in the real site; through the use of copied or similar logos, website layouts or content. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「typosquatting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
