Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for preventing potential phishing attacks by translating double-byte character set domain name system records may include (i) extracting a domain extension from a double-byte character set (DBCS) domain name in a universal resource locator (URL) received by a computing device, (ii) identifying a locale code associated with a language utilized on the computing device, (iii) determining if the domain extension matches the locale code, (iv) translating the DBCS domain name to a corresponding single byte character set (SBCS) domain name system (DNS) record when the domain extension matches the locale code, and (v) performing a security action that protects against a potential phishing attack based on the translated DBCS domain name. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
