An example of a hacker trying to mimic being a real website would be in 2023 as a hacker uploaded a website. The fake website’s URL read, “pay-pail.com.” It was trying to copy the website PayPal. You can see how it is spelled incorrectly and has additional digits in the name. There also was not a lock signifying that it is not a secure website. Another example of a fake website is “webelongin.umich.edu.lib.ir.” As we look at the URL, we see there is no https:// and also the “. lib.ir” does not belong there. The real website is “ https://webelong.umich.edu.” A very common mistake that users make are believing the USPS tracking scam. You receive a email that there is an issue with the delivery, and they need you to confirm your address and your payment method.
