What happened:
While I was looking for certain electrum-related information, I stumbled upon a blog that posts about electrum-related guides and tutorials [all of those are probably plagiarized content] and immediately redirects to a fake Electrum website!

Reference Link:
cryptoformacion.com [because of the redirection part, I couldn't archive it, but this is its "screenshot"]
get-electrum.com [archived]

  • The latest release on the "official Electrum website" is 4.2.0, but on the above fake website it's 4.0.4!
  • The verification parts are missing for both "Python sources" and "GPG signatures" sections!

Additional Notes:

Domain name: cryptoformacion.com

For some reason, none of the "URL Redirect Checkers" that I've tried, detects its redirection path [quite strange]!
