.cm is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cameroon.
In August 2006, it was reported that the .cm registry had set up a wildcard DNS record, so that all unregistered domains in this top-level domain go to a parking page with paid search links. This was likely intended to take advantage of typographical errors by users attempting to reach .com web sites.<ref name="berryhill">Berryhill, John.
