Typo-squatting and so-called parked domains continue to generate problems. Back in 2003, the entire DNS system was put at risk by Verisign's infamous Sitefinder. Now, it's a whole country (Cameroon) which try to subvert the DNS system, via similarities between it's ccTLD (.cm) and the .com domain.

"The .cm (Cameroon) ccTLD operators have discovered that since their TLD is simply one omitted letter away from .com, that there is a gold mine in the typo traffic that comes their way. Accordingly, Cameroon has now wild-carded its ccTLD and is monetizing the traffic."
