Title: Bitcointalk.to DOMAIN is a Pishing Site [DO NOT LOGIN] Post by: DreamStage on March 24, 2019, 09:24:00 AM Hello Bitcointalkers Community.
I want to shout out to everyone that if you ever come across the following domain: bitcointalk.to -> DO NOT LOGIN DISCLAIMER:
Back to the topic's discussion: My Account has been scammed back in 2017 due to my own self unawareness of the pishing site itself. I was not logged and found it odd (just like an ordinary day trying to get back in into Bitcointalk). After first login attempt i was redirected to this domain .org to login again from the .to pishing one (where i logged the first time). Since then everything was working fine as my browser was highlighting the main domain ".org". Till the next morning when my account was hacked and i could not log anymore neither able to recover it (i didn't had the knowledge to what actions i could make to recover it). Gratefully my account has been restored with signature ownership confirmation and here i am glad again warning any other bitcointalkers that might end up in the same situation. I want also to give a last statement about Bitcointalk black market accounts sales: I believe that this is where they are coming from (from the pishing site itself) so take good care of your accounts. Once again thank you for reading and glad i can help you if you are at this situation.

Especially if it is coming from OPs personal experience.
Sadly, the phishing site is still present in the search results of google, so one should never use google search to log in. Rather one should type in bitcointalk.org directly in the address bar to avoid this kind of phishing attack.

See below for instructions on how to protect yourself.
If you add the ".to" site to your hosts file, your browser will flat out refuse to open it. You can completely eliminate the risk of being phished by this site in <30 seconds. I'll quote myself below from the last time this was discussed with instruction on how to do so. Alternatively, if you are using Windows, your hosts file can be found in "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\". See the following site for instructions on how to open your hosts file on Windows, Mac or Linux: https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/modify-your-hosts-file/ Add the following line to the bottom of your hosts file: Code: 0.0.0.0 bitcointalk.to Title: Re: Bitcointalk.to DOMAIN is a Pishing Site [DO NOT LOGIN] Post by: DreamStage on March 24, 2019, 11:39:50 AM Hum i did search on the forum to see if there was any topics about it but after searching for the domain string i could not find any so i made mine.

Markets itself as the "new Bitcointalk". Obviously don't sign up with the same credentials, since it has no relation to the real Bitcointalk.

Code: http://fonstavka.com Just found when trying to search about "Bitforce Sc schematic diagram" I'd like the other members to be aware on these sites which is possible phishing site. |
