What is a typo spam trap?
A typo spam trap is an address created from common misspellings such as gmial.com or yaho.com. These traps identify lazy data entry or lack of double confirmation during signup.
They are usually benign compared to pristine traps but still signal weak data hygiene.
They are like drifting markers that flag sloppy navigation rather than malicious intent.
