White-Collar Crime
The process of acquiring misspellings of a domain name in the hopes of catching and exploiting traffic intended for another website. for example, a typosquatter might purchase domain names such as www.lnadsend.com and www.landswnd.com and then demand money for referring customers under the land’s end affiliate program. typosquatting is a variation of cybersquatting, an illegal practice in which a domain name is acquired in bad faith.
