Answer 1

The answer is correct Typosquatting

Typosquatting is also known as “URL diversion”. Cybercriminals register domain names that look like other popular domains, and then expect victims to mistakenly type in the name of their web pages. This is a serious problem for companies, and some of them, whose names have been abused by typosquatter, have even gone to court.

Typosquatting is also a threat to consumers who, without realizing it, enter spam pages or, in the worst case, infect their own computers with malware.
