The Reason why i write that is that the last weeks a lot of Download Links was posted that have different Links
behind of what you see when you read the Download Link.
The most of them are MALWARE
The most posted Links are in new created ANNs that you see and its possible that one of them are
FAKE ANNs and here i will start my first Advice .
If you see new created ANNs or Threads and you are intressted in them and will follow the Project seriously make the following before you Click any download Link :
- 1 copy the Thread title and do some search on Google or use the search field here on the forum( This will show you if there are other threads with the same name normaly when there is one )
( If you found another thread with the same Title look at it and maybe check the Dates of creation of the Thread and you will see what thread was created first )
- 2 look at the User that have created the new ANN ( Most created FAKE ANNs are created from newbies with not much activity and you also see it when you check the orginal ANN that there are diffrent Users that created the ANNs)
- 3 Use the quote button to look behind the Links that you can see on the ANNs ( This will show you the real link of what you can see on the ANN and please check it also with the orginal ANN if there is a Difference of the name of the Link )
Thats a Example what i would show you !
On the picture below you can see how it looks
But if you use the Quote button you can see that there is some other Link and that is
suspiciousWallets:
Windows: [url=https://bitbucket.org/develsoftware/gcc-coin/downloads/GCCcoin.rar]https://mega.nz/#!QPxEhQ5b!ICzbJn2wVveWsFazG_CDpY0GI_5RBjg1cIB7_lMxP04[/url]
You can see there is a other link hided of what you normal see !
- 4 Check how the Links are written when you looking with Quote on it ( I will use for this example something i have written on the Spambuster thread here :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51869997 )
Look exactly how the names and letters are written and below you can see what i mean
Fake Github : https_://github.com/cryptonexli
Real Github : https_://github.com/cryptonexii
You can also use Virustotal to check the links or if you have downloaded the file already you can check the file directly on Virustotal :
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/uploadThe most FAKE ANNs have the download links from Bitbucket or they are wrong written with just a other letter in it , and they have MALWARE in it that steals your Account, Wallets and Emails login details ! Check it a few times before you download anything and i hope that will helps to safe a few Users there Coins and Money and some Action before they get effected .
Also that advice is going out to the Translators also and to everybody , if you find ANNs that are having such things or you think they suspicious , Report them to the Moderators !
