Title: WARNING - A phishing site purported from Slack channel Post by: Dorky on July 12, 2017, 11:01:15 AM I got this email and screenshot it for you all to beware.
A lot of cases where such phishing attempt has stolen tons of money from innocent (gullible or otherwise, I don't wish to judge) people and I hope this recent email I just received will help you guys to stay away from it. https://image.prntscr.com/image/uVIRj-BTT_WlPlZQbuAl-Q.png If you hover your mouse over it, the link will actually link to myetherwaillet.com/wallet-info.php The official site is myetherWALLET, not myetherWAILLET. Be warned. Title: Re: WARNING - A phishing site purported from Slack channel Post by: jhenfelipe on July 12, 2017, 11:47:16 AM It seems that it's not the first time of phishing attempt on MyEtherWallet users. Even the real MyEtherWallet.com site is aware of this and posted a warning message on their page. Don't just trust easy clickable links. Users MUST always check on the URL of any sites they are visiting to confirm if it's legit or not to be safe. Be careful folks!

We have to be more careful, this is one of the main things which I think are causing the cryptocurrency to not express it self in the best light. Not many people care and they would rather trust a 3rd party with their funds.
Thanks for reminding us again that these kind of things exist and will exist in the future!

Title: Re: WARNING - A phishing site purported from Slack channel Post by: Kprawn on July 12, 2017, 02:51:08 PM These guys are really sneaky, there is subtle differences in the domain names and people do not even look twice when they get these messages.
Greed takes over and they just CLICK away. Next thing you know your wallet is empty and you have just become a victim of a Phishing scam. I always type my URL's for the sites I use. {never use auto complete} ;) Title: Re: WARNING - A phishing site purported from Slack channel Post by: amacar2 on July 12, 2017, 03:01:50 PM I got similar message from SONM slack yesterday and today got another message from MONACO slack but body of this message looks quite different.
Quote @slackbot View in the archives slackbot 8:30 PM, July 12th @m-ico asked me to remind you “=== URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT === Please be advised that we are experiencing some errors with the Monaco (MCO) tokens smart contract. We decided that the best way to solve the problem is to fork the Smart Contract. It was a simple process and everything worked out without issues. We implemented a seamless procedure to update the smart contract using an automatic process through MyEtherWallet services. Please use the link below to unlock your wallet through MyEtherWallet and follow the instructions on their website. Failure to do so may result in loss of Monaco (MCO) tokens. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. https://mona.co © 2017 Monaco Technology GmbH”. I suggest everyone to remain alert about these types of scam attempts going on slack channel of every projects right now. Don't click any link posted on slack channels. |
