“… please deactivate your adblocker …” they said.
“Paid for by an outfit” what does that mean?
You know, a cute blouse with a kicky pair of trousers. An outfit.
Yeah I know what outfit means. But not in the context writen in the article. How does one pay with an outfit? “The ads were paid for by an outfit called Digital Eagle”
The bot skips an important point. The site looks really close to the genuine site, only difference being “ķeepass dot info” and not “keepass”. Definitely easy to miss.
I feel like browsers should flag urls with unicode in their domains as suspicious by default. Maybe they already do, not sure. It’s honestly surprising to me in 2023 if they don’t.
I wouldn’t mind if FF popped up and said “hey, take another look at that URL” and very clearly drew attention to the weird k character. Of course it would have a “I’m absolutely sure this isn’t a scam, I own this domain or know who owns it and you don’t need to warn me about it in the future” button, but better safe than sorry.
I thought that they only show unicode chars if they are used in one of the installed languages of the browser and if not they show the punycode instead 🤔
