Punycode Phishing Attack

I was teaching my parents to check the authenticity of websites, especially the commonly used websites.

"See, the first thing to check is the "Secure" badge on the left side of browser address bar. If it is there, you are in a genuine page", I said.

"Not always !!!", my wife jumped in between.

"No way.."

"There are ways to trick even the smartest people. Just read this article then". 

The article is really interesting. To know more about Homograph attack, please read this link here.

Have fun by trying to create such links
