Security experts are warning about a new threat to Web surfers: malicious Web sites that use international domain names to spoof the Web addresses of legitimate sites. The new trick is a variation of a known technique called the "homograph attack" and takes advantage of loopholes in the way some popular Web browsers display domain names that use non-English characters. It could allow malicious hackers and online identity theft groups to trick unsuspecting users into divulging sensitive personal information, according to advisories from The Shmoo Group, a hacker collective, and Secunia.
