!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([Internationalized Domain Name]) is a [Phishing] [attack] where a [malicious] [entity] may deceive computer users about what remote system they are communicating with, by exploiting the fact that many different characters look alike.\\

For [example], a regular user of example.com may be lured to click a link where the Latin A is replaced with the Cyrillic A.

[Unicode] incorporates numerous writing systems, and, for a number of reasons, similar-looking characters such as Greek Ο, Latin O, and Cyrillic О were not assigned the same code. Their incorrect or [malicious] usage is a possibility for security [attacks].

[{$pagename}] is used and a [Security Consideration] for [Internationalized Domain Names] ([IDN]) and [Internationalized Resource Identifiers] ([IRIs]) when used within [URLs]

The registration of homographic domain names is akin to typosquatting, in that both forms of attacks use a similar-looking name to a more established domain to fool a user. The major difference is that in typosquatting the perpetrator relies on natural human typos, while in homograph spoofing the perpetrator intentionally deceives the [End-User] with visually indistinguishable names.
