If you go to codeacadamy.com you can learn how to clone websites for free and this has raised alarms for people in Nigeria as hackers or scammers have used this opportunity to create fake web domains that look exactly like the usual website using them to compromise your devices and get informations or hack into your accounts.
Bank websites are the recent victims of this clone websites in Nigeria, for example Ecobank, United Bank of Africa etc, I brought this up because I know we use this banks or our families do so we have to educate them to be very careful before visiting a website.
Here is an example of how this works.
1. They use acrylic alphabets like (ãåáâàā, ìîíï, úù, óòøō, éèēêë), in place of real alphabets in a place where it doesn't look obviously to users hence we consider it legitimate without second thoughts.
2. they use this type of strategy in a popular website that people visit regularly, like Amazon etc, for instance they use spell Amazon.com like this Amázon.cøm or something similar.
In conclusion let's be guided in website that we visit.
