CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Typosquatting relies on users making mistakes while typing a URL, leading them to land on a malicious site that mimics a legitimate one. Once the user visits the fake website, the threat actor can execute various malicious activities including malware infection. Incorrect spelling variants in URLs are a hallmark of this technique, therefore, visiting a website with a misspelled URL that resulted in these symptoms indicates a typosquatting attack. Misdirecting and phishing attempts, while also deceptive, typically involve more direct interaction, such as fake emails or links, not the accidental misspelling of a URL. Similarly, domain kiting and domain slamming are related to domain registration practices, not user typos.
