English term or phrase: typosquatting
Definition from McAfee:
Typosquatting, also known as URL hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting (sitting on sites under someone else’s brand or copyright) that targets Internet users who incorrectly type a website address into their web browser (e.g., “Gooogle.com” instead of “Google.com”). When users make such a typographical error, they may be led to an alternative website owned by a hacker that is usually designed for malicious purposes.Hackers often create fake websites that imitate the look and feel of your intended destination so you may not realize you’re at a different site. Sometimes these sites exist to sell products and services that are in direct competition with those sold at the website you had intended to visit, but most often they are intended to steal your personal identifiable information, including credit cards or passwords.

Example sentence(s):
  • Registering multiple spellings of your domain name could end up saving your customers and your brand reputation in the long run. Consider acronyms, plural, typos, hyphen, etc — every possible mistake that could lead to probable typosquatting. Medium
  • When the international domain name rules were changed to allow anyone to register a URL with an extension previously tied to specific countries, it created a brand new wave of typosquatting attacks. spambrella
  • More recently, typosquatting has been used to spread so-called ‘fake news’, by presenting false news stories in links that appear to be from legitimate news outlets, at first glance at least. On social media, this is often enough to go viral. fasthosts

подмена веб-адреса

  • «Например, при проведении ICO совершается подмена web-адреса — инвестор думает, что вкладывается в ICO, но на самом деле деньги уходят в руки преступников. Тоже самое проворачивают и с криптокошельками: меняют одну букву в названии популярного сервиса, пользователи открывают там кошелек, переводят монеты и моментально их теряют», — приводит пример Валерий Смаль. - Investfunds
