Phishing websites usually appear to come from a well-known organization and ask for your personal information, and when you type in your info, the owner of the site gets it - and proceeds to log into your account and steal your funds/coins.

You have to be very careful (especially when you're dealing with big sums of cryptocurrency) to avoid these kinds of scams. Bookmark the sites you usually access so you don't accidentally end up in a phising clone.

i feel bad for this man .. 45 btc
it's better to stick with Trezor with this amount. 150$ can save millions.
