Abstract
A computer-implemented method to prevent fraudulent activity associated with typo-squatting procedures is described. An input of a uniform resource locator (URL) for a un-assessed website is detected. A data field on the un-assessed website for sensitive information is detected. The inputted URL is compared to a database of URLs for trusted websites associated with trusted entities. A determination is made as to whether a difference between the inputted URL and the URLs in the database satisfies a threshold. Upon determining that the difference satisfies the threshold, a message regarding the un-assessed website is generated.
