Some versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Opera can trick you into thinking a website is apple.com

While this is fixed in Chrome version 58, it has been discovered that some web browsers will display the domain https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/ as https://www.apple.com. This works because Punycode makes it possible to register domains with foreign characters and this is what is tricking web browsers as well as many users.
