[UA-discuss] Is multiple scripts allowed

[Samuel from Pivots]

Hi Maniam,
It's really interesting how cyber-tricks continue to evolve to favour the
"smart". Unfortunately, there are some registries that actually support
non-ASCII domain names and that worsens the plight of internet users who
are likely to miss this tiny but very important detail, leading to their
fall. Worth sharing.

Sincerely,
Samuel Osei Mensah
