BitcoinTalk phishing sites sticky and warning?

[BTCgrinders.com]

There seems to be an exact duplicate of bitcointalk.org out there. I don't want to name the domain, but if it is not affiliated with bitcoin.org or bitcointalk.org, shouldn't there be a warning to users? One of our colleagues almost entered our information on the phishing site.

Do you mean bitcointalk[.]to? It's a well-known phishing version of the forum.
    
Request: add bitcointalk.TO to [phishing] list

This is not new. There has been several phishing links posted even here in the forum.
Notice that the real bitcointalk link appears in green when clicked in the forum. This was implemented to prevent anyone posting a fake link to avoid phishing.

If you are looking at green lock to identify the real and fake then you are wrong. Any domain owner can by SSL and add it with their domain to show it's trusted.

The best practice is to bookmark the site and make sure you do remember the correct spelling. Also you will need to remember which TLD (.com, .org, .info etc) the domain have.

Another practice is to copy the root URL and paste it in a notepad. Whenever you need to visit the site, copy the URL from notepad and past it on your browsers address bar.

I know. I meant this:



the link posted in this forum will be green in color once you hover on it if it redirects to the bitcointalk.org domain.
