Batu69 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Quote A simple typo can be enough to condemn your PC to viruses circulating on the Internet. Cybercriminals have used a common failure to users around the world - forget the letter "C" at the addresses ending in ".com" - to install malware on the computers of potential victims. The scam was discovered by site Endgame. A reader wanted to access Netflix via the browser and in an attempt to enter "netflix.com" entered "netflix.om" in the address bar and pressed the Enter key. Instead of being directed to the traditional warning of Google Chrome that page does not exist, the user ended up falling on a website that warned of an alleged update the Flash plugin. What happens is that the address "netflix.om", as well as many popular sites on the web - as youtube.om, gmail.om, facebookc.om and many others - is a page officially registered by cybercriminals. The browser can block the user input to detect a threat, but this defense system is not fully secured and does not always work. Not all fake websites install viruses on your computer immediately. Some ask the user to click on a link to update your browser or algun plugin like Flash in the case of "netflix.om". Anyway, you need to take care of gender typing errors. The list of all the malicious addresses found so far has more than 300 threats.

steven36 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Next time you accidentally type “.om” instead of “.com” in your browser, beware of malware. A new scam targets URL typos and tries to install dangerous software on your computer. Endgame discovered the malware after a user mistyped Netflix.com: Quote He did not get a DNS resolution error, which would have indicated the domain he typed doesn’t exist. Instead, due to the registration of “netflix.om” by a malicious actor, the domain resolved successfully. His browser was immediately redirected several times, and eventually landed on a “Flash Updater” page with all the usual annoying (and to an untrained user, terrifying) scareware pop-ups. Luckily, the Endgamer recognized danger and retreated swiftly, avoiding harm. They identified the download as “Adware Genieo,” which poses as a standard Adobe Flash update, then installs itself as an extension to Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Endgame calls it typosquatting, and it’s not limited to the Flash Updater page. Some pages will use surveys, advertisements, or scareware tactics to get you to download the malware.
