If you search it via a search engine you might end up on one of the Bitcointalk mirror sites. These are not associated with Bitcointalk and might be created specifically for phishing.
Double check links before clicking them. Forum links shared within the forum are highlight green on hover. Eg: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0 Title: Re: something fishing with my acc, need help please Post by: sncc on May 21, 2018, 03:19:21 PM I guess you meant phishing, not fishing? It would be good for you to change the title fishing -> phishing or "Someone hacking".

I used Google to find threads of several bitcoin advertising networks on bitcointalk. I opened links of several networks threads, but these links lead to different threads (if I'm not mistaken I was redirected to other threads on the same board and I don't know why). And I'm 100% it wasn't phishing links. And I had this problem only on Firefox browser, when I tried to open same threads using Opera, everything was fine.

To make sure bookmark the page, it's the easiest and probably the safest way to land on the page that you want to visit, I have bookmarked all my web wallet and all the websites that I have an account, there are to many phishing site and many have been reported hacked becausde of not landing in the right url. |
