Prone to typos? Beware. Hackers have revived a once common scam in which they use a URL that contains a misspelled real site to spread malware. The latest targets Google users with the misspelled "www.googkle.com." Users can't check it out, even out of curiosity, anymore because it has already been taken down, Mikko Hypponen, director of anti-virus research, F-Secure, told TechNewsWorld. In the past, users of MSN.com and CNN.com have also been targeted by scams like this. F-Secure first broke the news of the Trojan this week.
