What happened: A clone and fake bustabit.com website

Website:
Code:
https://bustabits.us/index.html



Archive: http://archive.is/iVo6g

This website clone the original https://www.bustabit.com/. And then the thing is that it will automatically ask for you login info: username and password, you can't even exit that dialog box.

Domain info:



That website is created days ago, another red-flag.

https://whois.domaintools.com/bustabits.us

Real website: https://www.bustabit.com/

You can submit a report to its registrar as what I did, namecheap, so that this clone website will be suspended.

Submit a ticket > Abuse report > Fraud / Phishing

You can report any clone websites to its registrar coz its against their TOS.

Thanks for reporting this, and it looks like criminals are also targeting well-known online games today. As far as I can remember there was one case here wherein someone try to lure many gamblers by messaging them a phishing site.

I reported them as well to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en just to be sure it won't appear anymore.

Nice catch OP. Hope there has been no victim yet in the 12 days the domain has been in operation.
I have done my part too by reporting the domain to namecheap.com
