"In the domain name system, typosquatting is a well known problem.
Typosquatting is the malicious registering of a domain that is lexically
similar to another, often highly frequented, website. Typosquatters
would for instance register a domain named Gooogle.com instead of the
well known Google.com."
Be very careful when installing programming language packages!
