0Coleen is the web security administrator for an online auction website. A small number of users are complaining that when they visit the website it does not appear to be the correct site. Coleen checks and she can visit the site without any problem, even from computers outside the network. She also checks the web server log and there is no record of those users ever connecting. Which of the following might best explain this?
Answer Options
A
Typo squatting
B
SQL injection
C
Cross-site scripting
D
Cross-site request forgery
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
From the description it appears that they are not connecting to the real web server but rather a fake server. That indicates typo squatting: having a URL that is named very similarly to a real site so that when users mistype the real site's URL they will go to the fake site.
