I also added your Punycode topic link to my Quizzes topic:
[LEARN] Phishing Quizzes - Beginners & Experts

Thank you very much for the links spread.

We have to keep informing people about these threats because the situation is getting only worse with time.

To be honest, if you don know about Punycode and how to protect yourself from Homograph Phishing attacks, you can be very easy a victim of a faked website.

Even for a trained eye is sometimes very hard to spot the difference, like with this Binance example which is my favorite  Wink.

The most tricky phising website i've heard was this one. Looks like Binance.com but there are no "n" . This is strange n with dot at the bottom.

How to deal with such a phishing address? Those dots are almost unnoticeable.
