Phishing attacks using Punycode techniques are increasingly targeting users by redirecting them from legitimate domain names to visually similar but malicious ones. For instance, domains like "plasma.to" can be altered to "plasmą.to" and "balancer.fi" to "bǎlancer.fi". These homograph attacks exploit the similarity of characters to deceive users. While careful inspection can often reveal these discrepancies, the primary concern is how these attacks can manipulate users' browser history. To protect against such threats, users should ensure their browsers are updated to the latest versions, which often include security patches against these vulnerabilities. Additionally, using browser extensions that detect and warn against Punycode domains can provide an extra layer of security. It's also advisable to manually verify URLs and use bookmarks for frequently visited sites to avoid mistyping addresses.
