Typosquatting, also known as URL hijacking or domain mimicking, is a form of cybercrime that involves registering domain names that are strikingly similar to well-known websites.
The typosquatting cybercrime takes advantage of users who type web addresses incorrectly, directing them to imitation websites rather than their intended destinations. Once they arrive at these imitation websites, users frequently enter sensitive information or download malware without their knowledge.

Typosquatting protection is built into most major browsers, including Microsoft Edge. Although the Edge browser by default has this feature enabled, you may want to restrict users from turning off this security feature.
Both Microsoft Intune and Group Policy can be used to enable or disable the Edge TyposquattingChecker feature for multiple users or devices. This guide covers both of these methods.

Manually enable or disable Website Typo Protection in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge includes a typosquatting checker that can warn you if you appear to have mistyped a common web address and may be directed to a malicious site.
You’ll find that setting in Edge under Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services. Scroll down to the Security section and look for website typo protection.
To enable website typo protection, move the slider to the right. And to disable the website type protection feature, toggle the slider to the left.

Sync Policies on Windows Devices
Once you have assigned a policy to your devices, you must wait for the policy to be applied to the targeted groups, and the devices will receive your profile settings once they check in with the Microsoft Intune service. To receive policies from Intune, the devices must be online. You can also force sync Intune policies using different methods, such as PowerShell, on your computers to get the latest policies and settings from Intune.
Monitor Edge Website Typo Protection Intune Policy
To monitor the policy in Intune that you applied to Windows devices and users, select the policy and review the Device and user check-in status.
Under the Device and user check-in status, we see the total number of devices and users that succeeded in receiving the policy. In some cases, the policy may fail to apply to certain devices. To resolve the issues, you will need to troubleshoot the issue by reviewing Intune logs on computers.
The screenshot below shows that the Edge Website Typo Protection policy assigned via Intune has been successfully applied to our groups. Click on View Report to view all the Windows devices that have received the policy settings.

Launch Server Manager from the Start menu.
Select Tools > Group Policy Management Console.
In the Group Policy Management console, expand the domain, right-click Group Policy Objects or an OU, and select New.
Enter the name for the group policy, such as “Configure Edge Website Typo Protection,” and click OK.
Configure Edge Website Typo Protection using Group Policy
Configure Edge Website Typo Protection using Group Policy
In the Group Policy Management Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Edge Website Typo Protection Settings. Right-click the Configure Edge Website Typo Protection setting and select Edit.
The GPO policy setting “Configure Edge Website Typo Protection” lets you configure whether to turn on Website Typo Protection for the Edge browser. The Website Typo Protection provides warning messages to help protect your users from potential typosquatting sites. By default, Edge Website Typo Protection is turned on, and you can manage it using a GPO.
If you enable this policy, Edge Website Typo Protection is turned on.
If you disable this policy, Edge Website Typo Protection will be turned off.
If you don’t configure this policy, Edge Website Typo Protection is turned on, but users can choose whether to use Edge Website Typo Protection.
In the below example, we are setting Configure Edge Website Typo Protection to Enabled. This will turn on the website typo protection for the Edge browser and doesn’t allow users to disable it.

Link or Apply the GPO to OU
After you have configured the Website Typo Protection GPO, you need to link this GPO to an OU if you haven’t already. You can also link it to the domain, but doing so will make the GPO applicable to every computer in the domain, so it is not advised. The best approach is to choose a test OU, connect your GPO, and test the policy settings.
Update Group Policies on Windows Computers
It’s time to update the group policy on the client computers and check to see if the TyposquattingChecker feature has been enabled on the Edge browser. You can use multiple ways to perform the group policy update on remote computers. On a test client machine, you can manually perform the group policy update by running the gpupdate /force command.
End-User Experience
After the devices successfully update the group policies, we will now verify if the TyposquattingChecker feature has been enabled on the Edge browser. Sign in to a Windows device and launch the Edge browser. Browse to edge://settings/privacy and scroll down to the Security section.
In the below screenshot, we see that the website typo protection feature is enabled, and the user does not have the option to disable it because it is greyed out. This confirms that a GPO can help you enable or disable the typo protection feature for websites.
