ICYMI: the APWG released its Global Phishing Survey 2H2014. In it they state “From January 2007 to June 2014 we found only nine true homographic phishing attacks. […] One hundred and three IDN domain names were used for phishing in 2H2014. None were homographic attacks.”

 

Clearly, those claiming to watch out for IDNs for spoofing attacks are overstating the problem.

Dear colleagues,

 

I’ve checked the GoDaddy article I mentioned. Actually it’s a general article about the small number of law enforcement cases, disputes etc., rather than just IDNs:
