       @Tutanota Always visit your important webpages like banking and e-mail services through links obtained through reputable search engines and is best to have them bookmarked afterwards. If you get e-mail about your Citibank, visit the website from your bookmark, not from the received e-mail. If there is something important, it will be on actual Citibank webpage. If not, then it's not that important.

       @Tutanota@mastodon.social I thought the .com domain only allows latin and special characters?

       @nyovaya @Tutanota the domain RFC doesn't really enforce a specific encoding. So the society adopted a limited subset of ASCII. But there's also a Punycode RFC which allows any UTF character:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

       @Tutanota Hackers use lookalike domains to trick you into clicking fake links. Troubling, the second url looks completely normal to people like me and a few million other persons who are English native speakers and writersCitibank users might want to block the second domain in UBlock or if running Linux in etc/hostsAnd  use 2 factor Authorization for Banking.Payment systems like PP and Sites like E Bay   AmazonNEVER USE AUTO FILL FOR PASSWORDS. Or save form data in the browser

       @Tutanota Unicode domain names are probably the worst idea for cybersecurity since the flash drive autorun in earlier Windows versions. They probably wanted to be "multicultural" and "non-Western-centric" but ended up with a heaven for scammers with marginal legitimate usage. In principle, any browser and email program should show A BIG RED WARNING in presence of that in URL...

       @Tutanota @jnl that second `a' might be from a Cyrillic font, but both letterforms are legitimate for writing in Cyrillic, as they are for the Roman alphabethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_scriptFWIW Citibank's url is citi.com. I'm often uneasy about clicking anything that comes by email, like my phone or electric bill. I don't retype the url; either I have it in a browser bookmark or it's in my password manager.

       @Tutanota are you implying hackers are the same thing as cybercriminals? That's kinda un-excellent coming from a company whose services are promoted by hackers to their peers, friends, coworkers, families. Seriously disappointing.
