- int_19h 4y agoIf there's any non-English-speaking culture that embraced IDNs, I'd love to hear it. E.g. in my experience as a Russian speaker, Cyrillic very rarely shows up in domain names for legitimate websites, and correlates strongly with malware.
- ddeck 4y agoThe numbers agree. Only 69 Cyrillic domains (second-level) registered last year. Chinese is the most popular, but only 760 for 2022 and the aggregate trend is down: 2016: 2378 2018: 2252 2020: 1675 2022: 1518 Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Annual Report 2022 [1] https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/idn-annual-report-2022-16feb23-en.pdf https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/idn-annual-repor...
