There is interesting phishing method that is described here. It is also called homograph attack. Many English (Latin) domain names can be represented by Russian (Cyrillic) letters which look almost the same but their character codes (Unicode) are different. So you think you are seeing the legitimate domain name like apple.com, but in reality it is fake name which looks exactly the same as the original name. The only thing I did not fully understand is how they represent latin letter "l" (lower case "L") as there is no similar letter in Cyrillic. I guess they just use "1" (number "one") instead of "l" but it still can be recognized?
