Interesting news on the phishing/domain squatter front (read previous posts):
Microsoft's Cybersecurity and Systems Management group released a free tool to help pinpoint large-scale typosquatters making money from pay-per-click domain parking services:

Here is a good article and download link from Microsoft:

This is vaguely related to a research project we did at Port80 a few years back. We were looking at major sites and use of subdomain typos like wwww.google.com or ww.google.com. Our findings? Some sites do it, all sites should.
That would be kind of self-typosquatting, probably the only good type of typosquatting there is...
Have a good one,
