Damn.I'm glad I've never used bitcoin.org in my life before.
We have to track all the outgoing transactions of this scammers wallet.Perhaps this is the only way to catch the scammer,unless he tries to use a Bitcoin mixer.Why he isn't moving the BTC away from this wallet?
Blacklisting this Bitcoin wallet address is also necessary.
Why do people keep falling for this "double your Bitcoin" shit?
4 transactions with a total value of more than 17K USD?WTF?

I think that Cøbra started using using Cloudflare few months ago on his bitcoin.org website and hack happened after that because of some DNS flaws.
I never trusted Cloudflare and my question is should Bitcointalk forum continue using Cloudflare or start using some alternative option to avoid something like this happening?
Here is Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince statement bragging how cryptocurrency exchanges are also using Cloudflare:

PS
I really don't understand people who are still sending BTC to scammers like this
0.4 BTC gone with the wind, in scammers pocket.

With regret, I am (for now) admitting defeat on the DDoS front, and we will soon be using using Cloudflare to protect against DDoS attacks.
I especially dislike Cloudflare, which I'm almost certain is basically owned by US intelligence agencies.

0.4 BTC gone with the wind, in scammers pocket. Confirming still down for me also even with various VPNs,,, does anyone know if there is any other place for anyone from there to make announcements? Their Twitter has been inactive almost a year from what I can see,,, hope not too many people fell for that scam, this is really a hit in the stomach for them.
You can visit my post in Scam Accusations board to know more about the scam.Thay already scammed a huge amount from here.
Scammed : 0.40571238 BTC till now.
I just tried to visit and now showing down but I already shared details here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.58002016
Namecheap (their registrar) took it down for now via removing the nameserver entries.
There will probably be something in the github repo. I opened an issue when I noticed this, so at least that will be closed when this is resolved: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org/issues/3743
Looks like Cobra is aware: https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/1440903346991337472

The site doesn't work at all, only that page is showing up. Any other individual pages cannot be loaded, only the page with the doubler message is working.
My goodness! The site appears compromised indeed. Information should be disseminated across various social media platforms so that people will be given a heads up that the official website of Bitcoin is hacked.
Although double-your-money is clearly an offer from scammers, people might think this is legitimate as the site has been deemed trustworthy. They might send money to the hackers.
I suspect the culprit has some connections or might be an avid supporter of CSW.

Looks like you're right, the start page pops up offering a bitcoin doubler. I believe the site has been compromised.
So far, the address of the scammer has collected 0.4 bitcoin
