UNISQUATTING IDN HOMOGRAPH ATTACKS
Unisquatting (a portmanteau for Unicode cybersquatting) or the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) homograph attack is a fairly new type of mechanism that builds on several other types of Domain Name System (DNS) address attacks. The typosquat (Uniform Resource Locator (URL) hijacking) attack relies on being able to register a domain name very closely resembling another domain. For instance, a person may accidentally type exaample.com in their browser with the expectation of going to example.com.
From an organizational perspective, there are some good tools out there that can alert on registered domain squatting. Ensuring that internal security awareness training is up-to-date can mitigate the risks posed by phishing attacks. Performing periodic phishing campaigns internally is good practice and can help identify team members that need extended training. Additionally, ensure that single sign-on and multi-factor authentication is provisioned in as many places as possible to reduce the attack surface.
