Hello. My name is Vanya, and I am a Java developer. It just so happens that I work a lot with PostgreSQL – I configure databases, optimize their structure, enhance performance, and I even play DBA on weekends. Recently, I've cleaned up several databases in our microservices and developed the java library pg-index-health, which simplifies this process, saves me time, and helps […]
Researchers from Soluble have discovered a new way to register domains with homoglyphs, visually similar to other domains but differing due to the presence of characters with different meanings. Such internationalized domain names (IDNs) can initially appear indistinguishable from domains of well-known companies and services, allowing their use for phishing, including obtaining valid TLS certificates for them. […]
