Amazon is an American multinational technology company that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. Amazon is one of the few websites that have taken measures to prevent cybersquatting. The term “cybersquatting” can be understood as the improper registration of domain names containing legally protected words. Cybersquatting, also known as the domain squatting, is the trafficking and the use of an internet domain name with the intent of profiting from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else.
This originated from the fact that there will always be the possibility of people making typos/mistakes in the spelling of a domain when trying to access the website. Amazon has taken measures to curb the malicious activities of cybersquatters by taking the following measures: registering important and obvious typo-domains and redirecting these domains to the correct domain that does not contain a spelling mistake, by using anti-spoofing technology and securing the website with a suitable SSL Certificate. Therefore, any form of error in the domain name of amazon.com will always be redirected to the original domain.
