Typosquatters

Link: Typosquatters. Nice little article from Philipp Lenssen on typosquatters - well, less of an article, more a series of thumbshots of sites such as amazoon.com, yahhoo.com and my personal favourite mycrosoft.com.

Speaking about typosquatters, here is a free website that detects whether your site has been typosquattered

http://veralab.com/dnsdomainsearch/typosquatters.jsp

Here is what you need to do:

1. Type your company domain name into the input field below
2. Choose the root domain from the drop down list below
3. Choose the types of typos you want to be investigated
4. Click “Search” and wait for a while

The system will generate the list of possible typos and misprints and tell you whether any domain names using these typos are already taken by other people.
