A ''Name Collision'' is a term used to describe the circumstance in which a term is used to try and reach a private [[Domain Name]] that results in resolving to a public Domain Name unintentionally. Private domain names are used in [[Intranet]]s and in many corporations and organizations throughout the world. A domain name on a private network that matches a name in the public [[Internet]] can create security risks in which private information is obtained or private networks are hacked. | |||
