A sophisticated phishing campaign is currently leveraging a subtle typographical trick to bypass user vigilance, deceiving victims into handing over sensitive login credentials. Attackers utilize the domain “rnicrosoft.com” to impersonate the tech giant.

By replacing the letter ‘m’ with the combination of ‘r’ and ‘n’, fraudsters create a visual doppleganger that is nearly indistinguishable from the legitimate domain at a casual glance.

This technique, known as typosquatting, relies heavily on the font rendering used in modern email clients and web browsers.

    Well, here’s 1, l spotted:

    l also replaced 'I's with 'l's and vice-versa in some of my previous comments and haven't yet seen anyone react to them. Hopefully someone finds out the ones I did today.

    l did something simiIar in my original repIy, but it Iooked too weird, so gave up.
