Title: Misspelled web site (cyrptsy.com) is a potential phishing site Post by: btcprice on December 21, 2013, 07:51:02 PM I recently mistyped the web address for cryptsy.com by switching the "y" and the "r" so it was cyrptsy.com. I didn't realize it at first since it looked just like the original web site so I entered my username and password.
Then I was offered the option to choose my email web site. I had never been asked this before so I became suspicious. I closed out of my web browser. I then went back in and checked the address history and found the web site to be cyrptsy.com. I logged into my cryptsy.com account and changed my password. If this happens to you and you enter both your cryptsy.com username/password and your email username/password it may have been detected by cyrptsy.com. I would suggest you change your password for both cryptsy.com and for your email account.

Just never click on a link to a supposed website. Bookmark the real one and use that.

with the consistent negative balances in all my wallets, the thief won't be able to withdraw anything anyways and with the standard 5 day wait time for any and all withdraws, I'll have enough time to contact admin to notify them if my account is compromised anyway pshhhh two factor authentication Title: Re: Misspelled web site (cyrptsy.com) is a potential phishing site Post by: btcprice on December 24, 2013, 04:57:11 AM I went back to the web site to check it out and saw this:
