Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jim was a victim of typosquatting, which involves registering a domain name similar to a popular website or brand in order to deceive people into visiting it and potentially revealing sensitive information. In this case, the website Amazom.com was designed to look like Amazon.com and tricked Jim into thinking it was the legitimate site, leading him to make a purchase and potentially disclose his personal or financial information.
