Electrum warns with this official tweet about a new phishing website called: electrumcore dot org
Well it is electrum.org so everything else are phishing sites. One of the best practice is to save the URL somewhere safe or bookmark it then visit the site. Risk of phishing attack becomes minimal then.
But it's a good Tweet to aware the community.
It’s better actually. Even while reading the above tweet I read it as electrum dot org rather than electrum core. I think it’s tricky sometimes because we are so used to the sites and names that we just read it correctly (but wrongly) and that’s why phishing attempts are successful many times.
However, I have another question to the community about this site. Since it’s on a website do we really need to worry about it if we are going to access the wallet from the wallet software that is installed on our laptop? Is there any correlation between the wallet Software and the phishing website. I see none but just to be sure before any moves are done. Beter safe rather than a idiot!
