Be very careful where you enter your login data! HTTPS means nothing anymore.
Do you notice the small dots(.) below the letters n
If you enter your password in a fake site like that your coins and money are gone. And always have 2 factor authentication activated.

Stay Safe

thank you !

2FA is very important.
additionally what i do is that i always bookmark these important websites and i open them through my bookmarks instead of clicking any links.
also a quick way to notice a fake site for me has always been based on their "zoom"! usually browsers remember the zoom level that you used on the websites. for example (if you haven't already) zoom in while seeing this topic then visit one of bitcointalk mirror/fake websites such as this one:
fake link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/be-careful-when-logging-in-2981675
now you can clearly see it is a different website you are visiting based on its zoom alone.

Plus some of the characters don't generate correctly, e.g. compare the title of this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sonm-decentralized-fog-computing-1845114 with https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sonm-decentralized-fog-computing-1845114.

Same as the legit trading exchange the fake too looks. It is our responsibility to be secure while logging in as suggested by the Op, we need to take extra care going through the URL and 2FA is a must when we have holding of different assets within the exchange wallet.

Being able to use special characters such as the example with Cyrillic 'a' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_(Cyrillic)) in domain names is very dangerous, people attempting to earn others money is increasing every single day. HTTPS doesn't mean anything at all, so if you want to be safe, make sure you:

Bookmark the real wallets & exchanges you use, so you don't have to search and follow links.

Analyze the URL inside the links before following any link, most likely you will detect a fraudulent website if the address looks weird in the bottom left hand of you browser when you hover a link. If you see the URL is not normal, don't follow the link, just access the site via google search or directly type it in the URL bar.

These people is there waiting for any of us, whether experienced internet user or not to make a mistake. The only person who can save you from being scammed is yourself and your judgement.

What is really interesting is a very sharp point of view in terms of security. Everyone has to be really careful. adding the original site to the favorites, then logging in from the favorites list.

I've never seen something like that before!! Thanks for sharing.
Just one question: what is the link source? How do you get it? Where did you see that?
This is an extraordinary strong attempt os pishing, and this website should be reported immediately, so, if you can, copy here the address in order to other users can check out what's going on there.

Again, thanks for sharing this.

I dont have the address unfortunately. I saw the picture on a crypto group and decided to post it here as a warning to everyone to stay alert and double check everything before entering sensitive information such as logins.

This has become an increasing problem. I found a group that works to fight off these spoofs/clones - they basically DDoS them back!

It is going to be difficult for you to become a member if you post that kind of questions in the wrong place. One advise: read, learn, be patient. And make your comments where they belong.

It's funny that you say that but you couldn't even read the whole thread before making a dumb question.

You also made two posts in a row for no reason (which is against the rules)...
