Axel Gutmann@Palletack What's the [purpose | no scam use case] of allowing mixed character sets in URLs?
@virbonus One goes to the authentic company site...the other one doesn't.
@Palletack I understood that (as my post should show) and exactly therefore my question is, why such constructs are even allowed by the technical standard? What possible use is there beside tricks like that?
@virbonus I apologize, I misunderstood. One way I would try to help mitigate something like that is to purchase all domain names that use variations on the font. And because they are criminals, even if the font was banned it still wouldn't stop them from recreating it. I think there are also ways that they can piggyback off of the actual link to redirect to their scam site. I suppose the best way to stop criminals is to put them out of business...but they are always evolving. I hope this helps.
