Watch Out When Typing in “Google.com”

Or you might end up at a spoof site, according to the Cranky Consumer: Internet:

“According to security specialist F-Secure, unsuspecting Web surfers may be bombarded with various types of Trojan horse threats, spyware and backdoors when they go to ‘Googkle.com.’ The scheme is meant to take advantage of sloppy or hurried typists, given that on most keyboards the letter ‘k’ key sits next to the ‘l’ needed to type ‘Google.’”

I didn’t type it in to check – besides, I have Google bookmarked. Just a bit of warning for you, just in case.
