But sometimes Bitcointalk reports legit links as phishing or suspicious once any member sends links in private messages.

Afaik that only applies if you receive pm from newbie account, but email is still from bitcointalk.

I don't receive any phishing emails I am confused about what you trying to say so what exactly do you mean by "you cross about scammers may now phish 2fa"?

Assume you have 2fa enabled on your binance account. You may receive phishing mails for your 2fa code. I was implying this could become thing for bitcointalk for as well, since this forum now has 2fa.

Better check carefully the email you receive if the email is not a bitcointalk then it is a phishing email.

I'm aware of that.

I don't remember receiving such emails. I never published the email that is connected to my Bitcointalk account. So, there is no possibility that I may get any phishing emails. But, yeah, I receive emails every time I receive private messages. Sometimes, I receive PMs from newbies but I never check any links from untrusted sources. I don't remember receiving any private messages with phishing links. Or else, I would have reported them.

But sometimes Bitcointalk reports legit links as phishing or suspicious once any member sends links in private messages. If you are receiving Phishing emails, you should consider creating a new email, and start using a new email. I recommend using an exclusive unique email for Bitcointalk only. But, since 2FA is here, you could utilize it for better security.

Was reading 2fa topic, and thought crossed about scammers may now phish for 2fa codes, then realized I have never received password phishing mails in first place.

Have you?
