Is this a backup site? (Warning! if not)

[kingaltcoins]

Recently when I was searching for some bitcoin related threads on google I saw in search results a similar thread starting with the domain name fanbitcoin.com

I also noticed that the site automatically converted the bitcointalk.org related links to fanbitcoin.com related links. This made me feel suspicious about it and so I am asking here.

Is that site a backup of this one just like bitcointa.lk? or is it a scam site trying to steal passwords?

I would stay away from it as any site that is not Bitcointalk but mirrors it will still have access to your passwords if you decide to login. Be careful, as there is a good probability that it is a phishing site.

I frequently use it as an archive, but you should not use your credentials on it and you'll be fine

got this page appear on my browser when im trying to find out thing that's related to bitcoin but it seems just for backup of bitcointalk or archive, i'm actually never login to this site but we need confirmation from mod/admin ASAP

It's likely just a mirror site for if bitcointalk is blocked by different countries/ISPs. There are several of the same sort of thing around the web. As previously said I wouldn't recommend logging in, but using it for viewing purposes is completely fine.

There are no official backup sites for bitcointalk.org.

I think that most of these sites copy bitcointalk.org's content so that they can confuse Google into showing their results high-up sometimes, and then they either have ads to make money off of this, or they operate as phishing sites. I don't know. Don't enter your password into any other site.

Thank you for your reply.
Cannot they be taken down by DMCA because an average person may try inputting their login ids there instead of the main site. Specially when they are accessing from their mobile phones it will camouflage with the actual site and in a hurry he or she might input their login ids.
