wtf?! Why does a browser (tested with chrome and firefox) even display a domain like this ?


I found this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/IDN_Display_Algorithm

but it ends on a rather unhelpful note:

Our response to this issue is that in the end, it is up to registries to make sure that their customers cannot rip each other off.


God. What a trash fire.

I am sure I am not missing anything.
You missed that part where the first domain is redirecting you to another fake domain. Both domains are FAKE. 1st one and 2nd one.


Hold on I think I found the missing connection:
http://calìbra.com (redirected from xn--calbra-yva.com) and https://calibra.com (seems fake) does not have the same ascii characters.

This seems fishy: http://calìbra.com (redirected from xn--calbra-yva.com)

Edit: Yes you are correct. My apology. I never thought this could be the trick.

ì - is the latter doing the trick.

Do you know about domain redirection?

It seems like, the domain xn--calbra-yva.com has been redirected to the domain calìbra.com

So only because of this you can not tell them scam. Do you have any other link/connection to backup your claim?
Look closer calìbra.com - obvious phishing attempt
Oh boy!

The domain xn--calbra-yva.com (does not have to be xn--calìbra-yva.com, it can be anything like sfiuahfkahri32ykjfkashfk.com) has been forwarded to calìbra.com.

Try pasting "xn--calbra-yva.com" in your browser and then press enter, you will see the address changes to calìbra.com which means the first domain was redirected to the 2nd one.

I am sure I am not missing anything.

If you have a hosting for eg: domain1.com & you have also registered domain2.com then you can park it so that when someone visits domain2.com then they are instantly redirected to domain1.com
