Post by: SloRunner on March 31, 2015, 08:36:07 PM
Email: admin@bitcointalk.org

i can check the headers...

Hi,

Have you had enough of Cloud Mining Ponzi Systems?

Why not start your own, for as little at 0.5 BTC you could have your own Cloud Mining Ponzi open earning you ~50 - 100 Bitcoin.

[URL HIDDEN] <-- Download The CloudMiningPonzi Script and you could have ~50 - 100 Bitcoin within the next 2 days!

Most probable theymos didn't send you that email, it is only a phishing attack don't click/visit any link from that email.

I can tell that that is not either theymos or badbear, that download link could be a malware that will actually steal your coins, beware of it.
Admin of this forum will never send you any download link , i suppose

It's a phishing attack and don't click on the link. I'm surprised that your email is hidden and still the hacker could send you an email? Did you post your email ID here on bitcointalk forum?

I can guarentee this is a phishing attempt, and if opened or taken part of, you will be hacked. I HIGHLY recommend that you delete this email asap if you want to keep your btc that is.

Yeah, it's a scam and not actually from bitcointalk.org. Your email client should have marked it as spam.

Post by: Neotox on March 31, 2015, 11:53:37 PM
its a spam email
probably they scrapped the forum and send the email to all emails that we public
i didn't received such email, because i never posted my email anywhere

I got the email too, obviously this is not a email from Bitcointalk. Be careful with these finishing email.

Probably from those fishy giveaways that ask bitcointalkers for their email, there have been a few of those in the last weeks so im assuming thats how they get our emails

It becomes obvious that bitcointalk admins or theymos would never actually send such an email to the members. So best to avoid it. Also It might not be the email taken from your bitcointalk account, but rather from another service you might have used in the past.

this is " Mailer "
This tool is used by hackers / scammers to deceive victims, you can use any email.

I could explain it all, but my English is not good :-\ and do not tell your email to anyone

Admin please ban that account.

Any emails that end up in the spam folder that has included links in it are, well, dangerous to me. The best thing that you can do is to never click in it, as there might be some malware waiting in that link that may end up ruining your pc and steal information from you.

At least I don't. I see that the victims is having their email address shown to public. BTW admin mustn't send ref links to us (because it is the forum rule). If he need to send something to us then it must be related to the forum.

someone probably made a software that allowed them to go through all the forum profiles, filter the ones that dont have emails public then filter those that are inactive and then work from the final list

But according to the victims, the email was sent from admin@bitcointalk.org. The forum maybe attacked (like its downtime few days before). Can the forum improve its security?

lol you should probably do some google. hint: search for "spoof emails".
that doesn't have anything to do with the security of the forum.

Theymos always improved the forum's security whenever he finds a vulnerability.

you can simply spoof it with php, and it comes from vps, so i guess it's written in PHP and just looped over all loaded addresses :)
