Cousin domain names

Cousin domain names are registered by fraudsters in creating phishing web sites. Their domain names look essentially very similar to those of banks and other finance companies. "visa-security.com" is one such domain to fool email users to believe it is a web site of visa. "hkhsbc.com" is another trying to mak the domain looks like "hsbc.com.hk". Watch out cousin domain names in the address bar of your browser.
