Here is the excerpt from an article published on TheHill :
"The issue of cybersquatting was cast into the spotlight this week when Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina failed to buy all the websites in her name.
Fiorina is far from alone. Cybersquatters have also hit a number of other presidential contenders, including Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) failed to purchase TedCruz.com before he launched his campaign in March. The website is actually owned by a supporter of President Obama’s immigration policies, which Cruz opposes. While TedCruzForAmerica.com is used to promote ObamaCare, another issue he opposes.
Two gay men own JebBushForPresident.com, which they use to promote LGBT issues.
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton failed to register HillaryClinton.org, which spreads malicious software to visitors.
ChrisChristie.net, for instance, is the personal website of a mortgage planning specialist by the same name.
BenCarson.org directs visitors to candy websites instead of the neurosurgeon’s presidential campaign.
The previous owner of BernieSanders.com turned it over to the Democratic socialist for a quick meeting with the Vermont senator."
