    hi,
    Cybersquatting is registering of domains with keywords that are popular and related to trademarks, brands, celebrities or other notable content. Cybersquatters claim these domains and try to sell them at later date to the actual owner

    Cybersquatting, as the name implies, is registering or using a domain name to profit from someone else's (or another company's) trademark or brand.

    Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.

    Cybersquatting, also known as “domain squatting,” is a practice that has gained an incredible amount of volume in the past two decades with the rise of the Internet. Cybersquatting is essentially when any individual purchases a domain name that is not related to their business or personal interests with the intention of achieving financial gain through the popularity of the domain’s name.
