How prevalent is cybersquatting and typosquatting? Take a look at
www.wipo.com, and then compare it with the World Intellectual Property
Organization’s web site www.wipo.org. Ironically, the WIPO Arbitration
and Mediation Center handles a majority of the UDRP domain dispute
arbitrations internationally.

The very organization which is invested with the authority by ICANN to
resolve cybersquatting and typosquatting disputes internationally under the
UDRP is, by all appearances, being squatted.
