Duplicate of Bitcointalk

[blue Snow]

This is a phishing site even and using all these sites is stupid. In fact, it could be that they are carrying out a conspiracy to steal our bitcointalk password. On the other hand, they may want to search our personal wallet and try to hack it later. So be carefully and avoid it. 

We are talked above, this isn't phishing purpose because of no login button, Imposible to stealing password if the user didn't insert it.

As far as I can see, there is no any log in options that can be seen.
So it's no way a phising site, can't get any passwords, username, nor e-mail.
I see this just a web dev practice of someone(probably a forum member).

I've seen many forums that used that same design as what bitcointalk.org has.
I've seen it on other language too, forum games(with exactly same design).
Not sure if those who used the same design of this forum are okay, but it seems that it is.

Still, there is a chance that this website can make a duplicate log in button the same as the original because the creator already copied the navigation at the top, so there is a chance they can do the same, I still doubting the use of this website, is this only for search about the bitcoin talk or there is any hidden agenda right there. I think the original creator must need to explain if he/she is right here to enlighten other members about things happen.

I think we need to keep an eye on this website.

Just because there's no login that doesn't means it isn't one.

Judging by the menu, it hasn't included the rest such as the members and login yet.

Even the URLs aren't complete or return a 404.

The site shows an exact copy paste of the original site here, I don't see any reason for using this site as a phishing one because its just a testing techniques done by the impersonator but doesn't mean we should trust them, no login and sign up button so what's the gain of it, it seems to me that s(he) isn't done with the site, it would be better if the site should be checked regularly to know their next plan in the future, maybe I will keep that in mind.

I'm really surprise seeing names of active members with signature and avatar, and mods also, on the fake site, I'm pretty sure the impersonator is one of the active member here.

So, is it a phishing site or are they trying to replicate the success of bitcointalk? I wouldn't trust it at all and I hope people don't get tricked and try to log in using the same username and pass they use for bitcointalk.

If you are so afraid of it, go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and create a new line in your hosts file (assuming you are using windows) and paste down this line:

Code:

127.0.0.1 www.bitcointalksearch.org

and save.

From now on, you won't be able to reach this website even if you clicked its link by mistake.

I wouldn't say I'm afraid of it but I am worried for newbies falling into scams and i'm also curious about the purpose of it. However, this tip can be proven useful in the future, so thanks for that.

They currently don't have a login button does not mean that they are safe. They can anytime insert a login dialog box to steal the usernames and passwords. Also they might be analyzing first as how much traffic they are getting daily and may have a long term plan to get into user's personal information.
For sure, they made this site with some purpose which we are unable to understand now.

Its kinda funny to see a website like bitcointalk. I think they just want to make some sorts of entertainments around since there is no signup or login button. Most of all, we are also duplicated on that website. Up to now, there is no sign of fraud or phishing. Hope that they will not use the fake website to harm anyone

Also they might be analyzing first as how much traffic they are getting daily and may have a long term plan to get into user's personal information.

I guess the creator will not have any desire for this issue. And if he does, he will only receive small traffic daily. It is kinda easy to spot a fake website like that. Most of bitcointalk users understand how to keep away from an unusual website like this one

[nakamura12]

I wouldn't call that site a phishing site since there is no log in form that will get your username and password when you submit. This site is like an archive that only copy the contents in this forum to that site and also trying to promote a charity program. The one who created that may be looking for traffic but it can't as explain in previous post.

I got surprised when I see every bitcointalk post in duplicate site. They haven't any user panel and registration system. Don't know what is their main aim. But, I suggest everyone avoid download files from there. They can insert malware in files. We don't know who they are, So better to avoid them.

[shield132]

So, someone wrote a scrapper and is gonna copy whole bitcointalk?
I highly doubt this website will be used for phishing purposes because even domain name isn't good for that. Maybe this website is gonna keep all the information that will be posted here and keep it even in case if something gets deleted by moderator or removed by a user, a tool similar of Loycev's but in live action via form of bitcointalk. Seems they put original links for bitcoin client download. But I don't understand why there is numeration changed on Marketplace section.
I don't know what to say but it's clear that everyone just F*cks this forum and I don't understand what the hell they want from it.

[CryptocurencyKing]

The creator of this site definitely took his or her time and it surely looks very much like the original except missing the login or registration botton and some other key icons on it but yeah, it's confusing for which purpose it was made and untill that purpose is made clear to the public, I won't support for it's usage or it continuing to exist.
At least we know the reason behind the creation of bitcointalk.org, LoyceV, Tryninja, DdmrDdmr and others tools and how to make use of it and besides, these tools were announced to the public by their creators using this forum. It's obvious this site has some sort of link or should I say the user copy's and paste or what ever tools the creator users to create duplicates of posts and it doesn't seem cool to me. I'll hate for anything to go wrong!

[Darkelf11]

That is almost the same with the real bitcointalk site! If you do not check the links you may not notice that the fake and the real site are different from each other. Do not try to make any transactions with links that seem to be unfamiliar to you.  It may be a phising site that may steal your account and all information that is connected to your account. Always check first the links and if you notice that there is something wrong with that page do not try to log in.

Thanks for all post and reply. I get some conclusion by member posted, this is maybe someone hobby or just promote website were inserted in. If he wants to phish someone, probably he will put login credentials there. I Just warning people to do not to come to the link and be careful do not to insert a password or anything else.

I'll be going to close this thread.
