They simply using special characters so it would not be noticed that is a fake site. Nice find OP, this will avoid some users here when they search for the real website of blockchain. When user searches for the keyword does these two sites shown on Google list? Or you just find it on the web?

Good catch OP.

Phishing sites always happen where we have to be able to catch and they should not allow to look for victims with this thread so the beginners can find out that this is phishing so don't just click or log in there.

To avoid this attack in Firefox and Tor, do the following:

Open a new tab
Type about:config and hit enter
Accept the warning if one appears
Search for the string network.IDN_show_punycode
Change the value to true

This will make these domains display as "xn--xxxxx" rather than the site name they are trying to imitate. Chromium based browsers should warn you about punycode domains automatically, provided they are up to date.

Another simple way to avoid falling victim to sites like this which pretend to be other sites, often web wallets and exchanges, is to use a good password manager such as KeePass. KeePass will automatically recognize that it is a fake site and won't input your user name or password.
