If an attacker purchases and uses a URL that is similar in spelling and looks like a well-known web site in order for the attacker to gain web traffic to generate income, it means that they are using URL hijacking. This type of attack is also called "typosquatting," . A website is falsely removed from the results of a search engine and replaced by another webpage.
