Phishing with Unicode Domains

Safari just displays it as "https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com" whereas Chrome (Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)) displays it as the author intended.

Same with pale moon just displays it with the puny code instead of the unicode characters.

Firefox 52.0.2 here displays it as apple.com So updated Firefox (which failed until I reran it) and then.. Still displays it as apple.com (Firefox 53.0)

OK, I read the linked article now and apparently you have to change a setting in Firefox in order to see the URL in punycode as Mozilla decided it is "not a bug".

Eg. about:config and set the "network.IDN_show_punycode" to true to avoid this trap.

heh, and updating Chrome to Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit) fixes the issue there.
