Exploits attentional blindness with the intention that the target will not notice the wrong characters.<br /> <br /> Tactic that exploits user attentional limitations by deliberately misspelling a web address. Threat actors may switch characters in the address such as switching the letter &quot;o&quot; with the number 0, as in AMAZ0N.COM from AMAZON.COM. Other variants include switching the ordering of letters as in social-engenier.com from social-engineer.com, or using alternate top-level domains (TLDs) such as amazon.cn from amazon.com. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;INTERACTIONS&#039;&#039;&#039; [VETs]: &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == &#039;&#039;&#039;Examples:&#039;&#039;&#039; ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Use Case Example(s):&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Example(s) From The Wild:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments:&#039;&#039;&#039; ==<br /> <br /> == &#039;&#039;&#039;References:&#039;&#039;&#039; ==</div> Info
