Looks simply like a difference in system fonts used on your machines. The attack relies on padding the hostname with Unicode characters that, for the typeface used, are rendered as white spaces. Whether Safari devs are to blame here exclusively, I'm not sure - IDN concept is by itself pretty evil, and this can be viewed simply a clever take on homograph attacks. /mz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
