Ha, easy! You simply have to compare the angle of the slashes to the ones after https: obviously in the first link the angle is too flat which indicates that it is a special character and no slash. So this is the link more likely containing the malware. As I said: Really obvious!

... we'll be fine.

@hanser @ariadne It was easy to spot side-by-side, but what about coming across an unsuspected url? Would you have noticed it on the spot?

Some Unicode characters are even harder to distinguish than these fake slashes.

Even though I think that the Unicode-slash-attack vector existed already before, without the .zip TLD.
