Title: Re: New way of scamming on forum (User - axorb) Post by: Bitcoin_BOy$ on October 28, 2017, 07:20:28 PM This person copied the login of bitcointalk.org and hosted it in a free hosting website.
this can catch any person that doesn't check the url. Maybe bitcointalk.org should add an advice at the login page Ensure you're visiting https://i.imgur.com/UdnVKXv.gif Title: Re: New way of scamming on forum (User - axorb) Post by: Zepher on October 28, 2017, 07:38:38 PM If you are paying attention to what you are doing, it should be nigh on impossible to get phished like this. First off, how often does the forum randomly log you out and ask you to log back in whilst you are in the middle of a session? I cannot think of many (if any) occasions where I have clicked a link for a thread and been asked out of the blue to log back in again. If that was to happen I would be instantly suspicious.
Second, I have a habit of hovering over the URL before I click it, so it is pretty damn obvious if the link is not an official bitcointalk.org link. Lastly, even if you do somehow click on a malicious link and get to a fake log in page, you should be checking the URL of the site you are on before you go and enter your personal credentials. If you do all these things, the chances of you getting phished are slim to zero.

It helps mods to ban him permanently as phishing become a major issue on bitcointalk.
