Twitter cybersquatting is rife!

I’ve just stumbled across cybersquatting on Twitter.

I was Googling ‘Twitter market research’, and came across this page and realised it was a form of cybersquatting.

I looked at a bunch of well known brand names on Twitter and realised cybersquatting on Twitter is rife!

A few more searches on Google and I realised the practice of Twitter cybersquatting has been going on for quite some time. I feel like I’ve been sitting under a rock somewhere!

  1. Cyber Police says:

    We have a Twitter called CyberSquatters that makes public who these squatters are. Our followers report who they are to us. Once we find them, we make it known to everyone.

  2. That’s a really great initiative to stop this practice of twitter cybersquatting (TwitterSquatting?). I think I might become a follower…
