Phishing myetherwallet site

[Galantin]

This has been the first time this year that I am hearing about the MEW phishing site, so I got the impression the scammers gave up on this particular type of phishing as it is the most obvious one and most people are already familiar with it, but I guess it is still effective enough to keep trying. Bookmarking the real MEW site is indeed an easy and crucial ordeal to avoid stepping on this phishing mine.

I think no one will refuse. After all, inexperienced investors always come to the market. I’m sure hundreds of people make this mistake every day. In a hurry or unknowingly. But this is not the end of phishing. You also need to be careful and do not use Google to search your exchange. Unfortunately there are enough fakes too.

The scammers know how to manage the whole manner without raising any questions on the victim's mind. MEW has changed its user interface and wallet access methods, scammers did the same thing too. Now scammers use Google advertising tools for promoting their phishing site and new users have gravitated to this magnet.

These scammers are buying ads to promote their phishing sites.  They are going under google's radar.

This is one of the reasons that you never just copy and paste your private key into a web browser.  Always connect with a safe option like a hardware wallet.

It can create an experience for all of us, now that there are many phishing websites, be careful to keep your data safe.
My advice is to avoid phishing web pages, by bookmarking pages, don't often use searches,
If you open https://www.myetherwallet.com/ use the metamask installed on your PC

[RapTarX]

It's always a better idea to bookmark all the websites where you are entering data which may be compromised. I use Binance and MyEtherWallet and I have bookmarked both of these.

some time ago I opened the Myetherwallet site to make a transaction, but I was directed to another tab in the browser that I used with a slightly different address but with the exact same appearance.

exactly the same as the original website,

https://www.myetherwallet.com/

I hope this can be our shared awareness,
because not only were they new sites that were phishing, but the Vintage website from MEW also experienced the same incident.

and exactly the same as the original website.

always bookmark some important websites and ignore pop ups when you surf the internet. because it might be one of the phishing attempts.

I am confused.  Can you tell me which is original and which is fake?

Now phishing sites at every step, scammers know very well how to deceive you, therefore, you need to be very careful about your safety and very carefully read the site to which you go.

While using any of the wallets it is a must to be very careful, a small mistake will cause a big loss. What we have seen here is an example. I have come across such a phising site of coinbase. One day got an email stating confirm to withdraw funds. On clicking the link it took to a page which resembles same as coinbase. Somehow out of luck saw the url and got out of the page.

And a few moments ago one of our friends also hacked into his MEW account. Whether it's from phishing or whatever it is, but we have to be more careful in keeping our private key not to go to an inappropriate place because when we have lost it will be very difficult to return.

The original website posted some warnings about what the link above should look like. But anyways, this is a good reminder especially for the beginners out there. And also, make sure you don't post your private key somewhere else and if you have enough money, I would recommend you also invest on your funds's security.

actually if we examine this more easily, we can see the address of the website we are visiting. then it would be better if you do bookmarks on important websites that we often visit.

If someone redirect on phishing site from google or any other sitez there's nothing to do. Bookmarking is the best solution because once you sync all the data with your mail, I guess will not face any knid of phishing in future.

If you compare real site with the phising site you can see the difference in Alexa rank.

There has been a lot of theft with a phishing site MEW and that is very detrimental. So it would be better if we always carefully enter the Myetherwallet site and then bookmark.

Actually this case often happens and the problem has been found.
The user is careless and looks rushed to open an important website. or they forget to bookmark important addresses in their browser.
the point is not to be careless, even though the bookmark has been done if it is careless then this case will repeat itself.

how can you say that even though we have bookmarked the event will repeat itself? isn't it if we visit a bookmarked site that we won't visit the wrong address

I make exceptions to careless people and keep searching manually. it could happen due to carelessness or human error.
Hurry or forget it can happen to anyone. right?

True . Not all people are careful on what they do but most people in this world are careless enough not because they are dumb or whatsoever but because they are too busy  . You know most of us are working and rushing  .  They may mislook the url and after the insert thier private keys boom,they will notice that they lost all their funds afterwards   . This issue can be avoided if all are going to take time to read and check everything ( not just check but double check ) for more safety  .

I understand what you mean, wrong and forget about the nature that exists in every human being.
but this experience I got when I entered the correct website. then it turns out there is a hidden pop up that I might click on and I am taken to the phishing address.

I installed adblock on my chrome, maybe that could help.
I agree with you, and be careful better. I also bookmark to avoid fishing.
