Abstract

In this paper, we present a large-scale analysis about an emerging new type of domain-name fraud, which we call levelsquatting. Unlike existing frauds that impersonate well-known brand names (like google.com) by using similar second-level domain names, adversaries here embed brand name in the subdomain section, deceiving users especially mobile users who do not pay attention to the entire domain names.
