Hot Take One different character style (the same character) can lead to a phishing page

Yes, I will record a GIF explaining how to install it. There is no secret to installing it. First, download the NextDNS.cer file, right-click on it, then click Install Certificate. Next, choose to install for all users and select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities", then finish.

Thank you, it worked, but this not detected by security extensions!

Thank you,

You're welcome!

Exactly, it wasn't blocked by any extension or antivirus except ESET. That's because this phishing site is dead; the website has been removed, so antivirus programs don't block it because it poses no danger to visitors.

But you posted several blocks by variable security vendos!

Yes, because the phishing URL was different, which is still active, and I hadn't noticed the link you posted. I also don't remember where I got that URL from. It's very likely that it was during testing with URLVoid and then searching on PhishTank. Later, I realized that it wasn't the same URL as yours.

Exactly; I got this sample from WS thread.
It is URL which when typed redirects to another URL.

It's wise not to share your NextDNS ID in public. Edit the post if you can.

Fixed; thank you for your kind advice.

Exactly, those URLs that redirect are dangerous. Now with the NextDNS block screen, you will hardly see those types of URLs. Delete your NextDNS ID because this post is public, as @SeriousHoax said in his post #46.

In such a situation, a password manager would be useful. For me, I don't write links to important websites that I log in to every time I need to use them in the address bar. Instead, I save the link inside my password manager along with other credentials. When I want to access the website, I open my password manager extension and click on the link instead of checking it every time.
