Typosquatting is a form of cybersquatting where someone registers domain names that are common misspellings or typos of popular websites. For example, registering 'gogle.com' to capture traffic from users who mistype 'google.com'. Typosquatters may display ads, phishing pages, or malware. Brands protect against typosquatting by registering common misspellings of their domain and using monitoring services.
