BITCOIN-TALK FORUM PHISHING WEBSITE! BE AWARE!

[blockchain2k]

Hello dear Bitcointalk users.

While I was conducting an ICO project research due to an ICO project we are going to launch, I made the following search on Google.com: ''dragon coin bitcointalk''

You will notice, that the 2nd result which pops-up is a PHISHING SITE ( ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!)   and when you click on it, it look identically like Bitcointalk, has the same amount of posts and thread and my Meta Mask extension screamed right away that it is a phishing site.

They probably use it to get peoples log-in details for Bitcointalk forum.

Be aware and let's fight it by reporting the website to Google!

Yes that site is a known phishing site. I thought the site was taken down as it was reported that it wasn't working lately. When you want to research topics from Bitcointalk make sure you add the extension after bitcointalk - ''dragon coin bitcointalk.org''. In this way google will only display results from this any other similar site will not be taken into consideration.

Yes, the website is a copy of Bitcointalk.org and most likely used to get login data if people enter it there.

Maybe you can set the website url of the phishing-website in a code, so that it's not clickable anymore but people still see the url, like this:

Code:

https://bitcointalk.to

There is already this thread:

Why did you create a new one.

Lock this thread as there are more replies there.

I thought you found new Bitcointalk phishing website after reading topic title, but Bitcointalk.to is old and probably most famous Bitcointalk phishing website. And it looks that this phishing website have very good SEO, because it's shown high in Google search results, sometimes even above of original website. There was so many warnings about this website, but I think it's nothing harmful that you posted this warning, maybe some forum newcomers wasn't aware about it.

Yeah, this has been up for a while now. Was surprised and confused at the same time the first time I encountered it. For some reason, if you're searching bitcointalk topics on Google, the bitcointalk.to site seems to rank higher on the query list for some reason.

You can use your hosts file to block the website, making it inaccessible for your browser (this way you won’t fall for it).

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.
