Title: SUSPICIOUS ELECTRUM Post by: HideOut on February 15, 2021, 02:11:44 PM Today im looking for the best wallet and of course most of the member recommends the electrum and now I saw this suspicious website that telling they are the electrum I already know the legit electrum
Code: https://electrum.org/#download https://i.imgur.com/o1X8QXr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ciaxf3e.jpg This is the links : Code: https://electrum.en.softonic.com/ Title: Re: SUSPICIOUS ELECTRUM Post by: NeuroticFish on February 15, 2021, 02:22:32 PM Indeed, it's a phishing/scam/copycat website. My browser or one of its extensions is detecting it as scam.
Normally the site should be also reported into threads like this one ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126880 ), but I see it's unmaintained for years :( Maybe somebody else knows of a better maintained of (Electrum) phishing/copycat websites. The rule is to not search, since SEO can trick now and then search engines into delivering malicious websites. Instead just go to electrum.org LE: let's include those images for the others to see them (I've also made them a bit smaller) Title: Re: SUSPICIOUS ELECTRUM Post by: hd49728 on February 15, 2021, 02:23:54 PM These two last websites are phishing sites and you will get fake Electrum.
How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240594.0). In OP, you told that you visited the official website of Electrum wallet, that is good. Additionally, please follow the guide and the warning on Electrum.org website. Download, verify wallet. Quote Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.
