Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 364 discussion

Typosquatting, also known as URL hijacking or typo hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting where an attacker registers domain names that closely resemble legitimate and popular domain names. The attacker takes advantage of users making typographical errors while entering a website's URL. In the given scenario, the candidate accidentally visits http://comptiia.org instead of the intended http://comptia.org. The attacker has registered a domain name that closely resembles the legitimate website's domain name. The malicious website is designed to look identical to the legitimate website, aiming to deceive users and trick them into entering sensitive information or performing malicious actions.
