Cybersquatting & Typosquatting

Cybersquatting is a derogatory term used to describe the practice of registering and claiming rights over brand names which are, arguably, not for the taking. Some cybersquatters put up derogatory remarks about the person or company the domain is meant to represent in an effort to encourage the subject to buy the domain from them (extract from wikipedia).

Typosquatting, also called URL hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting which relies on mistakes such as typographical errors made by internet users when inputting website address into a web browser. Should a user accidentally enter an incorrect website address, they may be led to an alternative address owned by a cybersquatter (extract from wikipedia).
