It could also be some IDN tricks. Most browsers translate mixed scripts into punycode nowadays, but it can be easy to get tricked. Just go to their official site if you're unsure.
For example: www.prοtοn.me/ looks like a normal link... but the O's have been replaced with the Greek letter omicron.
Interesting. I am blind and therefore use the TalkBack screen reader and it does not say the O's because they are not in English. It reads that as PRTN.
this is really insightful, thanks!
