What facebok.com is, in plain terms

facebok.com is not an official Facebook (Meta) domain. It’s best understood as a “typosquat” domain: a look-alike URL that counts on people mistyping “facebook.com” or not noticing a missing letter. Typosquatting is a common setup for credential theft (fake login pages), malware delivery, scam advertising, or redirect chains that push you toward a different malicious site. Huntress even uses “facebok[.]com” as a straightforward example of typosquatting against Facebook.

You’ll also see security sites explicitly flag facebok.com as suspicious or phishing-oriented. For example, Gridinsoft’s write-up describes facebok.com as operating in a phishing context and assigns it a very low trust score.

None of that means every single visit will instantly infect your device. It does mean you should treat the domain as hostile by default, and avoid entering any credentials or personal info on it.

Why domains like facebok.com exist

Attackers like typosquat domains because they exploit normal human behavior:

Typing errors: Missing a letter in a URL is easy, especially on mobile.
Glance-based trust: People often see “face…bok” and assume it’s “facebook.”
Link tricks: A message can show “Facebook” as the clickable text while the real destination is facebok.com or a redirect chain.
Fast iteration: If one domain gets blocked, attackers register another close variant.

Typosquatting is commonly used as the first step in phishing campaigns, and phishing targeting Facebook users is a recurring pattern (fake security alerts, fake login pages, and redirect abuse).

The practical risks if you land on facebok.com

Credential theft (the big one)

The most common outcome is a page that looks like a Facebook login screen. If you enter your email/phone and password, the attacker gets them. Some campaigns also try to collect 2FA codes in real time.

Once an attacker has access to your Facebook account, it’s often used to:

message your friends with scams,
take over Pages or ad accounts,
run fraudulent ads,
or pivot into other accounts if you reuse passwords.

Redirect chains and “legit-looking” interstitials

Many phishing campaigns try to reduce suspicion by bouncing you through pages that look official before landing on a fake login screen. Attackers also abuse redirects to hide the final destination.

Malware and scam funnels

Sometimes the first page is just a doorway: it pushes you to install something, accept notification spam, download a “verification” file, or call a fake support number. This varies a lot, because these domains get repurposed.

How to tell whether you’re on the real Facebook site

Don’t rely on logos or page design. Check the address bar.

Here’s what “normal” should look like:

facebook.com (or specific subdomains like www.facebook.com, m.facebook.com)
The official Facebook domain has long-established registration history and is managed under Meta’s infrastructure.

Here are red flags:

Misspellings: facebok.com, facbook.com, faceboook.com, etc.
Extra words: facebook-security-login.com, facebookverify-help.com
Odd path and query strings: especially if you arrived from a “security alert” message.

If you’re ever unsure, don’t “log in from the page you’re on.” Open a new tab and type facebook.com yourself (or use the official app).

What to do if you already clicked facebok.com

If you only visited and did not enter anything:

Close the tab.
Clear browser data for that site (cookies/site data) if your browser makes it easy.
Run a basic device scan (built-in tools are fine; you’re mainly checking for obvious add-ons or downloads you didn’t intend).

If you entered your Facebook password (or reused password):

Change your Facebook password immediately from a clean tab/app (type facebook.com manually).
Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) if it’s not already enabled—this is one of the highest-impact steps.
Check active sessions / logged-in devices in Facebook security settings and sign out of anything you don’t recognize.
Change passwords anywhere else you used the same password. This matters more than people want to admit.
Watch for new ads, new admins on Pages, or messages sent from your account.

If you entered payment info, treat it as financial fraud exposure: contact your bank/card issuer promptly and monitor transactions.

How organizations reduce exposure to look-alike domains

For teams (IT, security, or even small businesses managing Pages/ad accounts), the defenses are pretty boring but effective:

Domain filtering / DNS security: Block newly observed or low-reputation domains and known typosquat patterns.
Email security and phishing training: Many Facebook-themed attacks arrive through email or DMs with urgent language.
Password managers + 2FA: A password manager won’t auto-fill on facebok.com if it’s configured correctly, which prevents a lot of credential leaks.
Monitor for account compromise: Unusual logins, new payment methods, new admins, or ad spend spikes.

Reporting and checking domains safely

If you want to verify ownership or registration details of a domain, use reputable lookup services and don’t “browse around” on the suspicious domain itself. ICANN provides a registration data lookup tool intended for checking domain registration records.

Also, you can report suspicious links inside Facebook, and many browsers allow you to report deceptive sites. If you’re in a company environment, report it to your security team so they can block it centrally.

Key takeaways

facebok.com is not Facebook’s official domain and matches a common typosquatting pattern used for phishing.
Treat it as hostile: don’t log in, don’t download anything, and don’t allow notifications.
If you entered credentials, change your password right away, enable 2FA, and review active sessions/devices.
When in doubt, type facebook.com manually or use the official app, rather than trusting a link.

FAQ

Is facebok.com owned by Meta or related to Facebook?

Nothing reputable indicates it’s an official Meta/Facebook domain. It’s widely referenced as a typo-lookalike example and is flagged in security contexts.

Can visiting facebok.com infect my phone or laptop?

Just visiting a site usually doesn’t compromise a modern device by itself, but it can lead you into scams, prompt you to install something, or trick you into entering credentials. The safest assumption is: the danger is what it tries to get you to do next.

I typed my password on a fake Facebook page—what’s the fastest fix?

Change your Facebook password immediately, enable 2FA, sign out of unknown sessions/devices, and change any other accounts that reused that password.

How can I check a domain without risking a visit?

Use domain registration lookup tools (like ICANN’s lookup) and reputation services from a separate, trusted workflow rather than loading the domain in a normal browser session.

What’s the simplest habit to avoid these look-alike sites?

Don’t log in from random links. Open a new tab and type facebook.com yourself (or use the official app). Password managers also help because they typically won’t autofill on misspelled domains.
