First of all, the AT&T Third Party Billing Settlement and the web site at »
www.attthirdpartybilling ··· ent.com/ are legitimate.
I was flagged when an elderly acquaintance got a postcard in the mail regarding this settlement and tried to type it into her browser. It seems that she made a typo somewhere and noted that the site crashed her computer.
I wondered about this and tried the first typo that came to mind:
attthridpartybillingsettlement.com (Assume that this site is hostile, don't browse there!). It is privacy cloaked, so I assume it may serve malware.
There may be a story in this:
- Why did the lawyers have to create such a long domain name?
- How many typo-squatters are out there?
- Do any of the typo-squatters serve malware?
