What happened: Well I have a crypto-related website and some guy contacted me from Bitcoinofficial.org, I bet that was the owner, offering to publish their article. After reading the domain name, and I just asked myself when does bitcoin have its official website? Well, nevermind, so I tried to visit the website and yeah, it's officially created by a highly-skilled web developer in high school who wants to get people's btc.

Though it uses the coinb.in api to create the wallet address, which even has the same looks, the difference is the website doesn't have the feature to export the private keys, and surely the private key is saved in the website's server.

So I asked them if it's an open-source which I know it isn't and where's the link to download the code, they replied,

You can open the site bitcoinofficial.org in any browser and check its html code, since this is an online wallet.
Jesus. 🤦🏻

Additional Notes: To let everyone know, especially newbies, there's no official website of bitcoin. Though bitcoin.org is created by satoshi but that doesn't mean it's the official.

And please stay away from this website, by means that don't ever create any wallet using this website that you will use to send/receive bitcoin in the future.
It's probably a scam.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
