You don’t want traffic to your site hijacked and rerouted, but can you guarantee that will never happen?
When your customers type in your website URL, their browser uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to retrieve the IP address (or the location) of your website. During the DNS communication process, a bad actor could intercept the query, manipulate your site’s DNS data, and redirect your customers to an identical website run by the hijacker. Once there your customers would most likely feel safe to enter their personal information where it could be stolen by the bad actor.
So, how can you ensure your customers are really reaching YOUR site?

What are Internationalized Domain Names or IDNs?
Due to the technical limitations of the Internet, domain names can only be registered in ASCII, otherwise known as plain text. International characters such as ö, ç, or Ф, cannot be interpreted by the DNS and therefore cannot reside in a domain name registry as a registered name.Read more...
