Re: Keep your Bitcoin Fund safe, Be wary, Be Safe before Clicking
With this, I wanted to share some information that might be helpful in identifying if the link is malicious or safe in order to minimize the chance of losing our Bitcoin fund from any possible malicious or phishing attempt. This information can be seen in this site : 21 Tips to Check If a Link Is Safe Before You Click
And among those lists, I wanted to emphasize this one:
Watch Out for Sneaky “Look-alike” Links
This scheme uses a homograph attack where the link looks exactly the same as the original one but they are actually entirely different. See the article example:
We can't see the difference do we?
But well, they are different since one is in full Latin while the other one uses Cyrillic on "a" or "app" and Latin the rest of the letter. Although these two seem to look like the same link, they are different.
I’ve had to go over the provided image several times and o couldn’t spot the difference. Looked at it from different perspectives and even after reading where to spot the difference, it’s just so slightly and negligible to be where we find an error.
Imagine not having where to compare with as it’s the case in the OP, you’ll just be vulnerable for the right reasons. Browsers flagging this would be definitely the best way out if you aren’t inputing those characters yourself which is the primary way out of this.
