What is Typosquatting Detection?
What does 'Typosquatting Detection' mean?
Identifies domains, package names or app listings that closely imitate a legitimate one, usually through a misspelling, swapped character or alternative extension. Attackers register these look-alikes to harvest credentials, deliver malware or intercept traffic from people who mistype an address. Detection tools generate likely variants of a protected name, monitor registrations and flag or report ones that appear to be impersonating it.
