In all three examples, the URL\u2019s for the sites do not match the URL\u2019s of the official sites. In the case of the Nike Factory Store example, the URL doesn\u2019t even look similar. In the case of the Apple ID one, the URL does contain Apple in it at least but is still easier to notice the URL is still incorrect. In the case of the PayPal example, the URL contains two \u201c.com\u201d\u2019s, one being fake, intending on tricking the user they are at the actual PayPal.com, when the real .com is further down the URL after a bunch of additional text in the URL. All three are designed to look like the real sites and without paying attention to the URL\u2019s could fool a user who isn\u2019t paying attention at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/Nike-Factory-Store.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/Nike-Factory-Store.png 912w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/Nike-Factory-Store-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/Nike-Factory-Store-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/Nike-Factory-Store-497x300.png 497w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/863265040.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/863265040.jpg 856w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/863265040-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/863265040-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/863265040-511x300.jpg 511w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website-1024x620.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website-495x300.png 495w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/cpolansky\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34310\/2024\/12\/6557e87a3896519f4d98e0bc_Fake-PayPal-website.png 1147w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Citations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bogdanwing.
