Can somebody steal a URL

While someone cannot literally "steal" a URL, they can attempt to hijack a domain name or create a similar-looking URL (a phishing site) to deceive users. Domain names can be acquired if they are not properly registered or if the current owner fails to renew them. Additionally, malicious actors can use tactics like DNS spoofing to redirect traffic from a legitimate URL to a fraudulent site. Therefore, it's crucial to secure domain registrations and be vigilant about online security practices.
