Typosquatting is registering domains that look like a brand's with common typos, such as tecnet0ne.com, to trick people who mistype and send them to a fake phishing or malware site. Cybersquatting is registering a domain with a brand's exact name in bad faith, to resell it or profit from its reputation.
