PSA: phishing site? phishing != bitcointalk.org

[dooglus]

Someone came into the Just-Dice chat a while ago and posted this link (I changed http to hxxp to prevent linkification):

  hxxp://phishing/index.php?topic=238613.180

Notice the dash in the domain name.

It looks like it acts as a proxy to the forums, but probably steals your password as it does so.

Be very careful logging in to pages that look like the forum but aren't...

Stuff like this is just sad.

Thank you for posting this.

I think you should report this to theymos so he can send a mass PM to all users warning them about this.

I told Psy, who told theymos.

Thanks dooglus, reported it to Google safebrowsing.

How do we do that?  I expect having several reports works better than a single report.

I just added it to Phishtank too. Hopefully this gets more awareness out there.

Just reported, thanks. If we could get the submission on Phishtank verified that'd be another great step too.

also, get yourself a copy of LOIC and attack this address:
http://bitcoin-talk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=85687.0

the address is specifically chosen to generate the most load. the idea is to soak up the site's bandwidth, or get it banned from the real bitcointalk server.

LOIC won't do much damage and it's a skiddy tool, won't help you in the long run. Hire someone to do it for you or you can set up your own means to take down a website.

the site acts as a proxy to bitcointalk.org. if it makes too many requests, it will get banned.

working as intended

Site is running Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) for anyone who wanted more information.

Never trust what the site reports, you can configure that w/o even needing a recompile.

Thanks for posting this. Its sad that people resort to such measures just for the chance to steal bitcoins...

I edited the OP to add the red icon for visibility.

Looks like the forum is also automatically censoring bitcoin dash talk.org, which makes this thread confusing.
