A hacker can create a website that looks similar to popular websites with very little effort. The similarity of the domain name of these fake websites makes them a good choice for swindling people.
There has been a recent increase in these campaigns. Bleeping Computer used the help of the security firm Cyble to find over 200 fake websites that impersonated popular websites for Android and Windows.
The goal of fake websites for apps is to steal credentials and cause harm. The more direct approach to taking your money is what any website that involves subscriptions or payments will have.
Adding or changing one letter is one of the techniques used with URL hijacking. notepad-plus-plus.org was given an example by Bleeping Computer. The letter S is added to the end of a note to create a deceptive domain name.
A degree of protection is included in major browsers. You can protect yourself by looking at the domain name shown in the website address box or doing an internet search for the website you want to visit. You can't trust that the website you're on is authentic.
