Typo-Squatting (Analyse or Detect)
Typo-squatting is a type of online scam where attackers create fake websites with names that are very similar to real, trusted websites, often by using common typing mistakes. For example, if the real website is "example.com", they might create "exmaple.com" or "examplle.com". When people accidentally visit these fake sites, they might be tricked into sharing personal information, downloading harmful software, or even making payments.
