Homographs are fraudulent lookalike domain names that substitute letters or numbers with characters from Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic script tables for the purpose of malicious activity. Cybercriminals can even convert their site into HTTPS and obtain a valid SSL/TLS certificate for these lookalike domains, making them appear more legitimate.
At first glance, these domain names look like valid sites from well-known brands, so they don’t arouse the suspicion they might if their domain name looked unfamiliar.
