BEWARE of MEW SCAM, DO NOT be fooled.

[ledu_ico]

I thought I could never be fooled by a phishing page, but today i came across something that was almost fatal for me.
Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.

Here is a screenshot of the scam, be careful and pay very good attention to the link, it even has ssl certificate https.

I heard this happened to some people and thought they just weren't very knowledgeable about phishing but then it happened to my friend yesterday and he has a great knowledge about this thing.
And now thanks to your picture i get why... If i went these last few days to MEW i would also fall victim.
I must admit it Thanks for letting us know man!

These were very popular on slacks during the past months.. Anyone who today falls for that has been been living under a rock.

Thanks for the warning. One should not trust their ether wallets with others. I prefer that only the user knows about his/her wallet.

That is pretty crafty of the scammers. This is why you need to carefully type in the address yourself or use a bookmark of the known good page. If one is in a hurry or nervous about the hack and being compensated, I can see how they would miss the small signs indicating they are at the wrong site. Thanks for the warning and putting up a screenshot of the scam site so we know what to look out for.

this is a great salvation. It is clearly a warning to the entire platform.....
thanks man....

[salihno71]

Thank you for the warning. These phishing attacks are spreading like a plague. Original MEW has currently the big red warning on top saying "DON'T GET PHISHED 🎣 1. BOOKMARK MYETHERWALLET.COM RIGHT NOW 2. INSTALL EAL or MetaMask." and this is probably the reason for it.

[TimtheYoutuber]

Thats why you need to make sure you bookmark the real page, that way it is a fairly easy check. Along with the US LLC

Wallet information are very important, let it be known only by yourself. Some hackers and phishers are just out there waiting for perfect opportunity to scam. Do not ever share your wallet information to anyone and any site, let us all be safe and vigilant. Thanks for sharing this.

Myetherwallet is one of the most used websites to do pishing, because it is a very simple website and it does not need a huge coding developer in order to create a similiar template.

In fact, most hackers tend to send burst email from myetherwallet fake emails, and the user is usually falling in those emails and always login up from that link.

And i have read several stories like this, they are always the same, they just put their private key in there, and they forget that they are in a pishing site.

And maybe in a day, or two, they found their wallet empty, and they dont even know what happened.

I'll be more careful when dealing MEW in a untrusted site or phishing site. giving private key is a big No. No! so i will keep it secret or save it in a storage box

I came across this one posted here on the forum before and luckily that then helped me to identify it myself when seeing it posted in telegram. It simply looks like a spec of dust on the screen. Thank you for posting as there's a good chance you'll stop many of these phishers attempts in the future by raising awareness.

Yeah on a small screen it is hard to identify the dot below the letter, I looked at it 20 times before i spotted the little detail in the link.

I thought I could never be fooled by a phishing page, but today i came across something that was almost fatal for me.
Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.

Here is a screenshot of the scam, be careful and pay very good attention to the link, it even has ssl certificate https.

Thank you for giving us a warning to avoid scam.
Another thing is phising sites if you input wrong word sample MyEthereumWallet.com this is a scam site dont go and dont inputnyour private key.

Just one quick question though. Do you know how these guys tend to get emails our personal emails or any information that can prevent them getting our personal details would be really appreciated.

[Anonylz]

It is full of those pishing sites at the moment, but there is nothing new with that.

I am getting aprox 3 to 4 emails a day about pishing sites, a lot of them are from MyEtherWallet, and a few from the blockchain.info wallet, it is very annoying, but i dont use that email anymore because of that.

The same happen with those annoying emails that i get from some "crypto" related telegram groups (about 2 a day from those crappy groups)

Myetherwallet is probably the most pished site.

I wish i would have the answer to that question too, someone who knows it feel free to answer it here.

You broke one of the most important and yet the easiest rule about online wallets or exchanges  " Never visit a wallet/exchange page from links that been sent threw mails , chats or any external source " . It is pretty much easy rule to follow . Personally when I see messages like this in my mail or chat ( BTW I got punch of them ) I go direct to my bookmarked pages and check to see if this is true , I never follow an external link . People really need to change there habits and work there minds a little before acting .

[kahc]

I see how some people may fall for it.
However, that warning message on the phishing page could never have fooled me.
