Title: bitcointalk.to mirror site?
Post by: bandana121 on September 06, 2018, 08:32:25 AM
I recently came across bitcointalk.to opposed to bitcointalk.org and was just wondering if it was a mirror site? To be honest it came across a little phisshy to me.

This is a phishing site. Do not enter your details there. If you already entered the credentials then change your password here immediately or today/tomorrow you will find that your account got hacked.

Here are few more I spotted on the other day...
Code:
bitcointalk.[net]
bitcointa[ll]k.[org]
bitcointa[I]k.[org]

Avoid all these sites. Better bookmark the URL of this original forum address.

I pretty sure I didn't log into the site but to be on the safe side I've changed my password.

Thanks for the reply!

Avoid going to that website by mistake by adding it in your host file.

I totally fell for the cloned site, until I realized I couldn't see your trust ratings.
I have added this line to /etc/hosts
Code:
127.0.0.1       bitcointalk.to
Now my computer can't access that phishing site anymore.

This will block its access.

Metamask doesn't allow me to visit bitcointalk.to, that's awesome

Code:
https://thebitcointalk.[net]
is another phishing site.

Be careful, MetaMask doesn't block this one.
