CybersecurityGitHubUnicodePhishingContinuousIntegration
A new attack method on GitHub and other platforms involves replacing letters in URLs with visually identical Unicode characters, making detection difficult. This technique, known as "Zeichentausch mit Unicode," allows attackers to create deceptive URLs. A new CI (Continuous Integration) job has been developed to counter this threat by detecting these character substitutions.
