Pump for new Users and other Users and a reminder for watch out what you download from the Forum.
Also if you see or find threads like :
[ANN] Sonex . New RandomX coin or [CHAN] ChanCoin - Crypto for Imageboards
please report them or let me know and dont download anything in this threads, the last weeks there was many of this 2 and Users that downloaded there Wallets got hacked.
Also it's best for newbies to stay away from any new mining softwares, this was how my PC got affected with malware and hashrate stealing trojans, I download the mining software in mining section on this forum, after detecting what went wrong I had to do a factory reset to get rid of the malware and trojans Also if you see or find threads like :
[ANN] Sonex . New RandomX coin or [CHAN] ChanCoin - Crypto for Imageboards

Well this is new, never for once think that this is possible but all the same I want to say a big thank you to @Lafu for creating this topic, it's 💯 possible to steal people's key and details this way, the question I would like to ask is if this is also unsafe for Android smartphones users?

Just an short update here!
As the fake github links with Malware and suspicious Links was reduced i have seen in the last week they changed there style of posting !
The Last Week i have seen more and more Ann's and Fake Ann's have now there download link from mega.nz !
I just can advice again for new users:
" Check the download links and if you downloaded the File check it first with Virustotal or any other Antivirus software before you unpack the File or start the *.exe "

Please, don't count on this. This is a bad behavior to think the URL is legit because the statusbar shows it so (and thus, a terrible suggestion).
Here is a simple workaround to bypass this "security" measure:
Result: you hover the link and it shows realwebsite.com in the statusbar. Click it and you will end up on phishingwebsite.com
I didn't know that hovering the arrow to the hyperlink would show the real url/site just like what is shown in the image I provide. Does the code you provide would really bypass this security measure I suggest?. I'd like to know more about this bypass since the security measure can be bypass which is a bad sign. Any reference that I can check if you don't mind.Here is a simple workaround to bypass this "security" measure:
Code:
Result: you hover the link and it shows realwebsite.com in the statusbar. Click it and you will end up on phishingwebsite.com
This is in no way a security measure. You just took it like that. It's like saying that having a "100% legit" bolded text in a website makes it legit.

There is also another way to know what link is hidden between the URL Bbcodes and it's very easy. When you are using computer and using a firefox browser for example. Let's just say I use firefox or chrome browsers and you saw a link that you think that there is a link behind it, just simply point the arrow at the link and see if there is a link that will be shown at the bottom just like this image.
Image Source: http://www.hyperlinkcode.com/images/hand-pointer-status-bar.gif
When using mobile device same procedure won't do/help you but there's still a way to avoid opening a hidden link. First, you have to tap the link until a pop-up will appear and select "COPY LINK" then paste it somewhere else like a Notepad for example.
Take Note: The mobile procedure in knowing the real url/link behind a hyperlink could also work in PC by copying the link and paste it in Notepad.

Use the quote button to look behind the Links that you can see on the ANNs
This... or hover over the link before you click on it. You will see, on the bottom of your browser, the original link where you will be redirected. You should make this an habit.If you are using a smartphone and can't hover links, just click the link and keep holding untill a menu window pops up, select "copy URL link", paste it anywhere and compare it with the link on OP.
@op, thank you for the tips.
