Show HN: Someone registered ÿoutube.com, could be a scam? So I found out someone registered ÿoutube.com which redirects to http://xn--outube-oza.com/ It is still a parked domain. My guess is that it could be a future honey pot. |

That said, I think it’s mostly ineffective because later versions of chrome are pretty good about identifying these doppelgänger domains and warning people away from them.
This could very be a risk. I was using Chrome when I found this out, I wasn't given any such warning.
It'd be good with chrome can offer some discouragement to these.
