Goggle

Goggle was a typosquating domain that was registered in 1998. Around 2004, Goggle became a site that preyed on Windows 95 users who were still using that operating system because they were too cheap to upgrade to Windows XP.

Typosquating?

Typosquatting is a type of social engineering attack which targets internet users who incorrectly type a URL into their web browser rather than using a search engine. Typically, it involves tricking users into visiting malicious websites with URLs that are common misspellings of legitimate websites.

What Happened?

Back in 2004, and you were too cheap to upgrade your OS and browser, and you were using something stupid like Windows 98 coupled with Internet Explorer and visited Goggle. you were treated with a bevy of malware, adware, trojans, scareware, ransomeware, and spyware. In layman's terms, you were shit outta luck.
