Bug ID: 423246
Summary: Obvious phishing URLs are not recognized
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.14.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: david.hurka at mailbox.org
CC: david.hurka at mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KMail reports me various links as being “scam”, because they contain some odd
detail, like ending with &. But a link like https://kde.оrg is not reported,
although it is obviously a phishing link. (It contains a cyrillic o and points
to https://kde.xn--rg-emc/)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Send https://kde.оrg as email to yourself
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing special
EXPECTED RESULT
Shows me some warning about a non-ascii domain name
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don’t know what scam means, the usual meaning is very vague on URLs. But
based on the previous warnings, I expected KMail to recognize phishing links.
