Title: [2015-10-21]CCN-IMPOSTORS ATTEMPT TWITTER PHISHING ATTACK ON USERS OF BITCOIN... Post by: tolikkk on October 21, 2015, 04:44:25 PM A bit of a public service announcement today as Reddit user ZoidbergCoin reported a phishing attempt on the part of a false Electrum Twitter account. The attackers were clever, creating an exact clone of the original Electrum Twitter, but using an “I” (uppercase) instead of a lowercase “l.” On first glance, it's hard to tell the difference.
For reference, Electrum is a popular lightweight bitcoin wallet for desktop and mobile which operates similar to SPV wallets. It communicates with a trusted server rather than downloading the entire block chain. One common criticism of it is that the Electrum server can log information about the clients. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/impostors-attempt-twitter-phishing-attack-on-users-of-bitcoin-wallet-electrum/ (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/impostors-attempt-twitter-phishing-attack-on-users-of-bitcoin-wallet-electrum/) Title: Re: [2015-10-21]CCN-IMPOSTORS ATTEMPT TWITTER PHISHING ATTACK ON USERS OF BITCOIN...

That's why bitcoiners have to stick to the official websites where you can find there the official download link and the official social links too. Inv0king |
