[Bitcointalk.org] Phishing Attempt

[OmegaStarScream]

Someone contacted me using the P.M saying that he replied to me (while I noticed that he had no posts on his profile).

URL he posted redirects to a random page from FortuneJack thread on the forums (If you copy and paste it) , If you click on it then you get redirected to Bitcointaik.org where It asks you to type your username and password and claim that the session has expired.
=> bitcointaik.org/lndex.php?topic=1200970.0 (do not type your info here)





I have reported the P.M to Admin but I thought I should let you guys know just In case you receive it as well.

That's why admin introduced green colour when you hover over a bitcointalk link. If it doesn't becomes green then it will show the normal link colour. Just report him to moderator or staff of the forum.

Seems like someone playing nasty

Oh wow that's a pretty sneaky way to go about it. Good for you for noticing and thanks for the post. I'll have to be more careful than I currently was.

I wonder why theymos hasn't contacted the domain service yet? The following domain is active from last year or so.

Left them a negative feedback and contacted Lauda, as the user is a newbie (or rather "brand new").
This should be sufficient reason for nuking the account.


Done.

Thanks OP for warning us. Good to know there are scam attempts like these.

My anti virus blocks that page,I think it already been reported as a phising site,so if you are using karspersky and Bitfender it will automatically blocked that page,so be sure to use a powerful anti virus that block phishing site,to secure your bitcointalk account..

I use MicroSoft security essentials and it does the same.I think it's not the Anti-virus but the google chrome that blocks reported (not certified) SSL's with a obvious warning,Phishing Site Ahead.
