Thanks guys for corrections and feedback, will revise OP.
Right I checked it in preview but in the post it was replaced to the real link. The homograph attack is also interesting one, seems like o is the cyrillic letter.
See for instance The Five Best Password Managers.
Related to the password manager, I was wondering if anyone is using physical security keys? Google started requiring employees to use physical security keys and neutralized phishing. KeePass has portable version so LoyceV are you using it by installing it in e.g. USB drive?
That's one of the ideas, hope you will be also listed there eventually.
Thanks for tips, actually I was wondering why your account was hacked since you did these security measures? If you have somehow identify the reason why your account was hacked and potential loophole of the above strategies that would be worthwhile to share.
Did you mean this:

Fake https://www.google.com/ (link to google.com)
Theymos is smart
Fake links work in preview, but get fixed when posted.
However, a homograph attack can still be used to create a fake link:
True https://bitcointalk.org/
Fake https://www.google.com/ (link to google.com)

I have a text file with all the passwords I use for my web accounts.
That's very insecure! You should seriously consider getting a password manager. I use KeePassX on Linux (for Windows it's called KeePass), but there are other options too. It's worth the time to set it up once, and add all new passwords in the future.See for instance The Five Best Password Managers.

Very useful, thanks. Glad to read those 'Recent successful cases of recovery' it give us (the hacked victims) some sort of hope / relief.
