Typo Squating Online

Now that is a strange thing to read. Turns out a serial domain name registrant is securing domains that are the names of security companies but with typos in the name. Norton is the number one victim so far with domain names like Nortonaantivirus.com (note the misspelling).

Silicon.com is reporting that the typo squatter is a Panamanian company called Unasi Inc.

I wonder if ICANN can help companies protect their names? There are so many ways you might misspell a name you could go broke registering all of them to keep them from thieves.
